INTEGER
• A whole number; a number that is not a fraction. A thing complete In itself.
RATIONAL NUMBER
• Any number that can be made by dividing one integer by another. The word comes from “ratio”
SCIENTIFIC NOTATION
• Where a number is written in two parts
PERFECT SQUARE
• A number made by squaring a whole number
IRRATIONAL NUMBER
• A real number that cannot be written as a simple fraction - the decimal goes on forever without repeating.
REAL NUMBERS
• The type of number we normally use, such as 1, 15.82, -0.1, 3/4, etc…
Positive or negative, large or small, whole numbers or decimal numbers are all Real Numbers.
They are called "Real Numbers" because they are not Imaginary Numbers.
DENSITY PROPERTY
• The density property tells us that we can always find another real number that lies between any two real numbers.
ADJACENT ANGLES
• Two angles are Adjacent if they have a common side and a common vertex (corner point), and don't overlap.
COEFFICIENT
• A number used to multiply a variable
DISTANCE FORMULA
• Any algebraic expression that gives the distance between two points in a particular coordinate system in a particular number of dimensions
DOMAIN
• Domain of a relation is the set of all x-coordinates of the ordered pairs of that relation.
HYPOTENUSE
• The longest side of a right triangle, opposite the right angle.
LEGS OF A RIGHT TRIANGLE
• In a right triangle, the sides opposite to the acute angles are called the Legs of a Triangle.
RATIONAL NUMBERS
• Any number that can be made by dividing one integer by another. The word comes from "ratio".
RANGE
• The range of a set of numbers is the highest number minus the lowest number
SLOPE
• The rate of change of a line. For any two points, it is the change in the y values divided by the change in the x values, and is referred to as the change in the rise over the change in the run of a line.
SCIENTIFIC NOTATION
• Where a number is written in two parts
PRISM
• A solid geometric figure whose two end faces are similar, equal, and parallel rectilinear figures, and whose sides are parallelograms.
SCATTER PLOT
• A graph of plotted points that show the relationship between two sets of data.
SLOPE INTERCEPT FORM
• the equation of a straight line in the form y = mx + b where m is the slope of the line and b is its y-intercept
