Adjacent Sides Two sides that share an endpoint are called Adjacent Sides Sides F and H are not adjacent sides because they do not share a point, like sides E and G
Base Base is the number that is going to be raised into a power The power is how many times you multiply the base In the example, it would be 5 x 5 x 5 not 5 x 3.
Congruent Congruent means equal in size and shape Two objects are congruent when the dimensions and shape are the same In the picture, these two are congruent because one is an exact copy of the other
Degree of polynomial The degree of a polynomial is the highest exponent of any term in the polynomial In the polynomial there are three terms, 3x has an exponent of 1. So x with an exponent of two is the highest and is the degree of polynomial.
Enlargement An enlargement is when all dimensions are increased by a constant factor When a fraction has a numerator that is bigger than the denominator, it is an enlargement of the actual size In the example, Figure B is an enlargement of Figure A
FractionS A fraction is part of a whole In rational numbers, the first number of a ratio is always the numerator and the second number is the denominator.
Greater than When one value is bigger than another we use the ">" or "greater than" symbol A bigger number should be on the right and smaller number should be on the left
Hypotenuse The hypotenuse is the longest side of a triangle In the pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse is always c because it is the longest side. 2
Isolate Isolate means to have the variable by itself to one side of the equation and everything else to the other side to solve the equation To isolate the variable, you must divide by its coefficient and doing it to both sides
Just do it Meaning: When multiplying with fractions, you multiply the numerator by numerator and the denominator by denominator.
Kite Sentence: Kites are quadrilateral and have two adjacent sides that are congruent.
Linear Linear means straight In linear relations, when an equation is graphed, it is called a linear equation
Monomial A monomial is a polynomial consisting of only one term 2 2 3xy is a monomial because 3xy are not separate
Numerical coefficient Numerical coefficients are constant multiplicative factors with the variables in an expression The coefficient is always written in front the variable
Opposite Two numbers that are opposite in signs When opposite numbers are added, it gives zero
C = hypotenuse(longest side) Pythagorean theorem Formula C = hypotenuse(longest side) A and B = other sides In a right angled triangle: the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides
Quotient The quotient is the answer for a division equation 24 is the dividend and 6 is the divisor
Rational numbers Rational numbers are real numbers that can be written as a simple fraction or as a ratio Pi is not a rational number because it cannot be turned into a ratio or fraction. 0.5 is a rational number because it can be turned into a fraction
Squared If a number is squared, it is simply multiplied by itself
Tangent A tangent is a line that touches the circumference of the circle from the outside at a given point The tangent always forms a 9o degree angle with the radius
All constant terms are like terms Unlike terms Unlike terms are two or more terms that do not have the same variables or exponents All constant terms are like terms
In the example, the variables in the equation are x and y Variables are letters or other symbols that represent unknown numbers or values In the example, the variables in the equation are x and y
Whole number Examples of whole numbers A whole number is a number without a fraction and decimals It also has no symbols like negatives
X-Axis The x-axis is a horizontal reference line that runs through zero in a graph
Y-AXIS The y-axis is a vertical reference line that runs through zero in a graph
The zero exponent law helps you simplify exponents The zero exponent law states that any term — except o — with an exponent of o is equal to 1
