26 Terms

1
New cards

Variables

Letters representing unknown or changing values in algebraic expressions.

2
New cards

Terms

Numbers or letters alone or multiplied together, separated by + or - signs in expressions.

3
New cards

Expressions

Combinations of terms using + or - signs, without an = sign.

4
New cards

Equations

Two expressions set equal to each other with an = sign, indicating equal values on both sides.

5
New cards

Like terms

Terms with the same variable raised to the same power, used for simplifying expressions.

6
New cards

PEMDAS

Order of operations - Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction.

7
New cards

Factoring

Breaking down algebraic expressions into simpler forms, often using product and sum methods.

8
New cards

Formulas

Mathematical rules using variables that are always true, allowing substitution of values.

9
New cards

Rearranging Formulas

Moving variables to one side of an equation by using opposite operations.

10
New cards

Composite Functions

Functions where the output of one becomes the input of another function.

11
New cards

Graphs

Representations of mathematical relationships on coordinate planes.

12
New cards

Transformations of Graphs

Movements of graphs vertically or horizontally, and reflections over axes.

13
New cards

Graphs of Lines

Equations in the form y=mx+c, showing slopes and intercepts.

14
New cards

Graphs of Quadratics

Representations of equations in the form y=ax²+bx+c, including turning points and symmetry.

15
New cards

Graphs of Circles

Representations of circles with equations like (x-h)²+(y-k)²=r².

16
New cards

Graphs of Inequalities

Representations of regions where inequalities are true on graphs.

17
New cards

Solving Equations

Finding values that make equations true, often using rearrangement and order of operations.

18
New cards

Simultaneous Equations

Solving systems of equations using substitution or elimination methods.

19
New cards

Solving Quadratic Equations

Finding solutions to equations of the form ax²+bx+c=0 using factoring, quadratic formula, or completing the square.

20
New cards

Inequalities

Expressions showing relationships between values that are not equal, solved similarly to equations but with attention to negatives.

21
New cards

Sequences

Sets of numbers following patterns, including arithmetic, geometric, and linear sequences.

22
New cards

Square numbers

Numbers obtained by multiplying a number by itself, e.g., 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36...

23
New cards

Cube numbers

Numbers obtained by multiplying a number by itself three times, e.g., 1, 8, 27, 64, 125...

24
New cards

Triangular numbers

Numbers that can be represented as a triangle of dots, with each term obtained by adding one more than the previous term, e.g., 1, 3, 6, 10, 15...

25
New cards

Triangular numbers nth term formula

The formula to find the nth triangular number is [n(n+1)]/2.

26
New cards

Fibonacci sequence

A sequence where each term is the sum of the two preceding terms, starting with 1, 1, e.g., 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13...
