Graded A+ Questions & Solutions (100% Solved)
A number that can be written as a ratio of integers, which means
it can be written as a fraction. ......ANSWER........rational number
The result of multiplying values. ......ANSWER........product
A number whose value is 0 or greater and can be represented
without a fractional or a decimal component.
......ANSWER........whole number
The property that 0 can be added to any number without
changing the value of the number. Likewise, 1 can be multiplied
by any number without changing the value of that number.
......ANSWER........identity property
The property that under certain operations in a multi-step
expression, the computations may be done in any order.
Commonly represented as (a + b) + c = a + (b + c). Addition
and multiplication both have this property, but subtraction and
division do not. ......ANSWER........associative property
The product of any integer with itself yields this. So, a number is
this if it can be written as the square of an integer. For example,
9 is this because 3 * 3 = 9. Other examples are 16, 25, 36,
49,... ......ANSWER........perfect square
In mathematics: a collection of numbers. ......ANSWER........set
,Page 2 of 20
A set of rules that defines the order in which mathematical
operations should be performed ......ANSWER........order of
operations
The number you must multiply x by to get 1. For example, 5 and
1/5. ......ANSWER........multiplicative inverse
The positive square root of a number. ......ANSWER........principal
square root
A set of numbers between two specified values.
......ANSWER........interval
A word or symbol (such as + or -) that indicates an operation
between values. ......ANSWER........operators
The property that the order of the numbers under the operation
does not change the result. Addition and multiplication have this
property: a + b = b + a and ab = ba.
......ANSWER........commutative
The symbol which indicates to take the square root of the number
that follows. ......ANSWER........radical sign
Two numbers equidistant from 0 on a number line whose sum is 0.
For example, 3 and -3. ......ANSWER........additive inverse
The greatest number that is both a factor of a and a factor of b.
......ANSWER........greatest common factor (GCF)
A graphical method used to identify the prime factorization of
an integer. ......ANSWER........factor tree
, Page 3 of 20
A number, (positive, negative, or zero), that can be represented
without a fractional or a decimal component.
......ANSWER........integer
A collection of numbers whose values are distinct, separate, and
unconnected. ......ANSWER........discrete
Determining the set of prime numbers whose product is the
original integer. ......ANSWER........prime factorization
A collection of numbers whose values are not dividable into
distinct units. ......ANSWER........continuous
A string of terms that are connected by division, addition, and
subtraction operations. ......ANSWER........expressions
The result of a division expression. ......ANSWER........quotient
Sometimes called a power, it is a quantity that represents
repeated multiplication. ......ANSWER........exponents
An integer that divides another integer. We say an integer, x, is
a factor of another integer, y, if the quotient y/x is also equal to
an integer. ......ANSWER........factor
A number with more factors than just one and itself. Not a prime
number. ......ANSWER........composite number
A concept which states that any integer greater than 1 is either
prime or is the product of a unique set of prime numbers.
......ANSWER........Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic
