VERIFIED FOR GUARANTEED PASS
proper fraction - CORRECT ANSWER - A fraction where the number in the numerator is less
than the number in the denominator.
trailing zeros - CORRECT ANSWER - Sequence of zeros after the last non-zero digit in a
decimal number.
proportion - CORRECT ANSWER - A true statement in which two ratios are equal to each other.
butterfly method - CORRECT ANSWER - Cross-multiplication method used to determine
whether two fractions are equal. The numerator of one fraction is multiplied by the denominator
of the opposite fraction on both sides.
unit conversion - CORRECT ANSWER - A method used to change between measurement
systems.
terminal decimal - CORRECT ANSWER - A decimal number that has a finite number of digits.
least common multiple (LCM) - CORRECT ANSWER - The smallest number in value that is a
multiple of two or more numbers.
rounding - CORRECT ANSWER - A method of estimating in order to make working with a
number easier.
reciprocal - CORRECT ANSWER - A reciprocal of a number is that number which, when
multiplied by the original number, equals 1. It is the same as the multiplicative inverse.
,ratio - CORRECT ANSWER - Measures one quantity in relation to another quantity.
improper fraction - CORRECT ANSWER - A fraction where the the number in the numerator is
more than the number in the denominator.
cross multiplying - CORRECT ANSWER - A method used to prove that a proportion is true.
constant - CORRECT ANSWER - A value that is known and unchanging.
y-intercept - CORRECT ANSWER - The y-value of the point at which a line intersects with the
y-axis.
distributive property - CORRECT ANSWER - A mathematical principle used to multiply one
term by multiple terms. This principle is employed when there are parentheses around multiple
terms, which are in turn multiplied by a single term.
quadrants - CORRECT ANSWER - The four sections of the coordinate plane, separated and
defined by the x-axis and y-axis.
the substitution method - CORRECT ANSWER - When a variable is substituted by its known
value in an algebraic expression or equation.
slope - CORRECT ANSWER - The value that describes the direction and steepness of a line
drawn on the coordinate plane. It is measured by 'rise over run.' Rise/Run = (the change in y
value) / (the change in x value) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 -x1)
arithmetic expression - CORRECT ANSWER - A string of numbers connected by elementary
operations.
coefficients - CORRECT ANSWER - A number by which a variable is multiplied. This number
is written in front of the variable(s).
,algebraic equation - CORRECT ANSWER - Any equation that contains variables, constants, or
mathematical operations.
y-axis - CORRECT ANSWER - The vertical line that passes through the origin on a coordinate
plane.
equation - CORRECT ANSWER - Two mathematical expressions separated by the equals sign,
=. The two expressions on either side of the equals sign hold the same value as one another.
origin - CORRECT ANSWER - The point (0,0) on a coordinate plane, which is where the x-axis
and y-axis intersect.
the principle of equality - CORRECT ANSWER - If you perform equivalent operations to both
side of an equation, the result will always be an equivalent equation.
algebraic expression - CORRECT ANSWER - A string of terms that are connected by division,
addition, and subtraction operations.
variable - CORRECT ANSWER - A symbol that represents a mathematical value.
value - CORRECT ANSWER - A number or numerical worth.
degree - CORRECT ANSWER - The largest exponent in an expression.
like terms - CORRECT ANSWER - They that have the same variable(s) with the same
exponent(s). These terms can be 'combined' using addition or subtraction.
, ordered pairs - CORRECT ANSWER - Two numbers written in the form (x, y), where x
represent the x-value or x-coordinate, and y represents the y-value or y-coordinate.
horizontal line - CORRECT ANSWER - A line that runs left to right on the coordinate plane,
parallel to the x-axis. It has no 'rise' or change in y-value.
x-axis - CORRECT ANSWER - The horizontal line that passes through the origin on a
coordinate plane.
term - CORRECT ANSWER - An individual number, a variable, or numbers and variables
multiplied together. They are separated by addition, +, or subtraction, -, in an expression.
slope-intercept form - CORRECT ANSWER - A common format that a linear equation can take
that is helpful for graphing purposes. It is of the form y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line
and b is the y-intercept.
vertical line - CORRECT ANSWER - A line that runs up and down on the coordinate plane,
parallel to the y-axis. It has no 'run' or change in x-value.
inverse operations - CORRECT ANSWER - Two operations that undo one another.
Order of Operations - CORRECT ANSWER - A set of rules that defines the order in which
mathematical operations should be performed.
cubic - CORRECT ANSWER - An expression or equation of degree 3.
quadratic - CORRECT ANSWER - An expression or equation of degree 2.
exponent - CORRECT ANSWER - Sometimes called a power, it is a quantity that represents
repeated multiplication.
