●● 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.
●● dependent system
Answer: A system of equations that has infinite solutions.
●● difference
Answer: The answer to a subtraction problem.
●● difference of two squares
Answer: A binomial whose terms are perfect squares being subtracted.
●● direct variation
