45 Terms

1

variables

symbols (usually letters) used to represent unknown quantities

New cards
2

expressions

a mathematical representation using numbers, variables, exponents, and operations

New cards
3

rational numbers

3 subsets: natural (N) {1, 2, 3, …}, whole (W) {0, 1, 2, 3, …}, integer (Z or J) {…-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, …}

Terminating and repeating decimals can be written as a quotient of integers

New cards
4

irrational numbers

the set of non-repeating and non-termination decimals

New cards
5

commutative prop. (+/x)

switching order 5+4=4+5

New cards
6

associative prop. (+/x)

grouping/regrouping 4+7+x=(4+7)+x

New cards
7

distributive prop. (+/x)

3(x)+3(7) 3x+21 3(x=7)

New cards
8

inverse prop. (+)

3+(-3)=0 (opposite)

New cards
9

inverse prop. (x)

4x1/4=1 (reciprocal)

New cards
10

identity prop. (+)

7+0=7 add identity 0

New cards
11

identity prop. (x)

10x1=10 mult. identity 1

New cards
12

property of zero (x)

10x0=0

New cards
13

definition of =

1-7 1+-7

New cards
14

definition of div.

5/2 5x1/2

New cards
15

reflexive prop. (=) mirror

A=A x+7=x+7

New cards
16

symmetric prop. (=) switching

if A=B, then B=A 10=x+2 x+2=10

New cards
17

transitive prop. (=)

if A=B, and B=C, then A=C 3+4=7, 2+5=7 then 3+4=2+5

New cards
18

subtraction prop. (=)

x+4=10

-4 -4

New cards
19

addition prop. (=)

A=B, then A+C=B+C

New cards
20

multiplication prop. (=)

New cards
21

division prop. (=)

3x=12

/3 /3

New cards
22

set

a group of objects e.g. set of integers

New cards
23

element

each object within a set e.g. 2 E Z

New cards
24

empty set of null set

the set that contains no elements symbols: { }

The empty set is a subset of every set

New cards
25

subset ⊆

A is a subset of B if every element in A is also an element of B

Symbol: ⊆

Every set is a subset of itself

The empty set is a subset of every set

New cards
26

2^n = S

formula that represents relationship when n=# of elements and s=# of subsets

New cards
27

roster rule

lists members in set e.g. {1, 3, 5, 7, …}

New cards
28

literal rule

describes set e.g. {odd whole numbers}

New cards
29

algebraic rule

expression e.g. {2x-1|x⊆N} x=1, 2, 3, 4

New cards
30

union ∪

the union of A and B is a set C that contains all elements that are in either A or B

Put the two sets (A&B) together

New cards
31

intersection ∩

the intersection of A and B is a set C that contains all elements that in both A and B

Overlap or what two sets (A&B) only have in common

New cards
32

disjoint set

if A ∩ B = empty set

New cards
33

solution

a value that makes a sentence(s) true

New cards
34

conditional

one solution

New cards
35

contradiction

no solutions

New cards
36

identity

many solutions

New cards
37

transitive prop.

is a < b and b < c, then a < c

New cards
38

trichotomy prop.

if a and b are any real numbers then one of the following must be true a < b a > b a=b

New cards
39

set notation & interval notation

{x|x > 3} → (3, ∞) {x|x ≤ -4} → (-∞, -4\] {x|-8 < x < 1} → (-8, 1)

≤, ≥ → opens points on graph, \[ \]

<, > → closed points on graph, ( )
New cards
40

applications

coin problems, rate x time = distance

New cards
41

absolute value |n|

the distance from 0

New cards
42

conjunction

AND ∩ intersection means to share, in common

New cards
43

disjunction

OR ∪ union means to join

New cards
44

compound inequalities

Multiple inequalities

Scratchwork above number line

No intersection = no solution

Write answer in interval notation

New cards
45

CHAPTER 1 REVIEW
