Basic probability - ✔✔-#of total come\# of total outcome in the sample space P(B | A) - ✔✔-conditional probability P(A and B)=P(A) � ... � P(B) - ✔✔-multiplication rule- independent events P(A and B)= P(A) • P(B|A) - ✔✔-multiplication rule- dependent events P(A or B)= P(A) + P(B) - ✔✔-addition rule- Disjoint P(A or B)= P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B) - ✔✔-addition rule- non-Disjoint product - ✔✔-The result of multiplying values. factorization - ✔✔-The process of determining the prime factors of a composite number. integer - ✔✔-"A number, (positive, negative, or zero), that can be represented without a fractional or a decimal component." superscript - ✔✔-A symbol (such as a number or letter) written above and immediately to the left or right of another character. perfect square - ✔✔-"The product of any integer with itself. . So, a number is a this if it can be written as the square of an integer. For example, 3 * 3 = 9." expression - ✔✔-"A string of terms that are connected by division, addition, and subtraction operations." addition - ✔✔-Finding the total of two or more values. interval - ✔✔-A set of numbers between two specified values. difference - ✔✔-The result of one number being subtracted from another number. multi-step expression - ✔✔-An expression or equation with more than two values and two or more operators that requires multiple steps to be solved. discrete - ✔✔-"A collection of numbers whose values are distinct, separate, and unconnected." negative number - ✔✔-"A number whose value is less than zero. On the number line, they are to the left of zero." division - ✔✔-Splitting values into equal parts or groups. estimation - ✔✔-Approximating a value for a calculation radical sign - ✔✔-The symbol which indicates to take the square root of the number that follows. numbers - ✔✔-A word or symbol (such as 'five' or '16') that represents a specific amount or quantity. exponents - ✔✔-"Sometimes called a power, it is a quantity that represents repeated multiplication." parentheses - ✔✔-"In mathematics, these () are used to separate operations within an expression. Any operations that lie within parentheses should be performed first." real number - ✔✔-"Any numbers on the number line. They include zero, negative and positive integers, fractions, and decimals." sum - ✔✔-The result of multiple numbers being added together. square root - ✔✔-A number that produces a specified number when it is multiplied by itself. Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic - ✔✔-A concept which states that any integer greater than 1 is either prime or is the product of a unique set of prime numbers. prime number - ✔✔-A number with only two factors: one and itself. operator - ✔✔-A word or symbol (such as + or -) that indicates an operation between values. principal square root - ✔✔-"The positive square root of a number. For example, the principal square root of 36 is 6." whole number - ✔✔-A number whose value is 0 or greater (negative numbers are not considered this), and can be represented without a fractional or a decimal component. positive number - ✔✔-"A number whose value is greater than zero. On the number line, these numbers are to the right of zero." additive inverse - ✔✔-"Two numbers equidistant from 0 on a number line whose sum is 0. For example, 3 and -3 commutative - ✔✔-The property that the order of the numbers under the operation does not change the result. Addition and multiplication are this: a + b = b + a and ab = ba. multiplicative inverse - ✔✔-"opposite of a number x is the number you must multiply x by to get 1. For example, 5 and 1/5 are this." negative square root - ✔✔-"The negative compliment of a perfect square. For example, -6 is the this of 36." operation - ✔✔-"In mathematics, this is a procedure which generates a new value from one or more operands, or mathematical values." identity property - ✔✔-"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." rational number - ✔✔-"This type of number is a number that can be written as a ratio of integers, which means it can be written as a fraction." order of operations - ✔✔-A set of rules that defines the order in which mathematical operations should be performed associative property - ✔✔-"This property holds 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 follow this property" prime factorization - ✔✔-Determining the set of prime numbers whose product is the original integer. continuous - ✔✔-A collection of numbers whose values are not dividable into distinct units. composite number - ✔✔-A number with more factors than just one and itself. multiplication - ✔✔-"In mathematics, this is the act of adding the same number multiple times. It is often denoted by the dot sign, ·." base number - ✔✔-"The number multiplied by itself when paired with an exponent. For example, in 8 to the third power, 8 would be this number." radicand - ✔✔-The number within the radical sign whose square root is to be taken. factor tree - ✔✔-A graphical method used to identify the prime factorization of an integer. subtraction - ✔✔-Taking one or more values away from another. set - ✔✔-In mathematics: a collection of numbers. factor - ✔✔-"An integer that divides another integer. We say an integer, x, is a this of another integer, y, if the quotient y/x is also equal to an integer." quotient - ✔✔-The result of a division expression. greatest common factor (GCF) - ✔✔-This is, of any two integers a and b, the greatest number that is both a factor of a and a factor of b. cross products - ✔✔-The results produced from cross multiplication. equivalent fractions - ✔✔-Different fractions that represent the same value. multiple - ✔✔-"An integer that is that integer multiplied by another integer. For example, 28 is a this of 7 because 28 = 7*4." numerator - ✔✔-"The number that is written before the slash, or above the fraction bar, in a fraction." ratio - ✔✔-Measures one quantity in relation to another quantity. reciprocal - ✔✔-"This is that number which, when multiplied by the original number, equals 1. It is the same as the multiplicative inverse." proportion - ✔✔-A true statement in which two ratios are equal to each other. unit multiplier - ✔✔-"A fraction that contains two equivalent quantities but in two different units, used in order to convert units." fractions - ✔✔-The representation of a number as a division of one integer by another through the use of a slash or division bar. percent proportion - ✔✔-Proportion that is equivalent to the given ratio but has a denominator of 100. So such proportion of 3/5 is 60/100. rounding - ✔✔-A method of estimating in order to make working with a number easier. butterfly method - ✔✔-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 cancellation - ✔✔-"The act of a unit being crossed out when the unit is in a numerator, and the same unit is in the denominator of a fraction or a product of fractions." unit conversion - ✔✔-A method used to change between measurement systems. place value - ✔✔-Describes what part of the whole the decimal represents. repeating decimal - ✔✔-"A decimal number that has either a digit, or sequence of digits, that continue forever. A bar is written over the top of the part of the decimal that repeats." rate - ✔✔-A ratio that compares two quantities having different units of measure. percent sign - ✔✔-A symbol used to denote percentages. percentages - ✔✔-"Like fractions, they denote something that is not necessarily whole, but rather could be a part of a whole number. 100% represents the number one." terminal decimal - ✔✔-A decimal number that has a finite number of digits. least common multiple (LCM) - ✔✔-The smallest number in value that is a multiple of two or more number [Show More]
