MATH 101 MODULE 3 2026 TEST PAPER
PRACTICE QUESTIONS AND COMPREHENSIVE
SOLUTION SET
◉ additive inverse. Answer: The opposite of a number. When added
together, the sum is zero.
◉ algebraic expression. Answer: A collection of numbers and
variables with at least one arithmetic operation.
◉ associative property. Answer: The grouping of terms within
expressions involving addition or multiplication does not change the
value. Ex: (a+b) + c = a + (b+c)
◉ axis of symmetry. Answer: The line that divides a graph into two
symmetrical parts.
◉ base. Answer: The repeated factor of a number written in
exponential form.
◉ binomial. Answer: A two-term polynomial.
◉ coefficient. Answer: The numerical value of a term.
, ◉ combine like terms. Answer: Adding or subtracting terms that
have the same variable(s) and exponent(s).
◉ commutative property. Answer: Changing the order of addition or
multiplication does not change the value. Ex: a+b+c = c+a+b
◉ compound inequality. Answer: Two inequalities combined in one
statement by the word "and" or "or".
◉ consistent system. Answer: A system of equations with at least
one solution.
◉ constant. Answer: A term with no variables.
◉ coordinate plane. Answer: Formed by two number lines that cross
each other at zero.
◉ coordinates. Answer: Ordered pairs that identify points on a
plane.
◉ denominator. Answer: The lower half of a fraction.
