What comes out of a function, also called y-value, range, and dependent variable
Output
Expressions that contain the same variables to the same power
Like terms
Mathematical statements that have a minimum of two terms containing numbers, variables, or both. These terms are connected by an operation such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division.
Expression
A mathematical statement showing two expressions have the same value.
Equation
a property indicating a special way in which multiplication is applied to addition of two or more numbers in which each term inside a set of parentheses can be multiplied by a factor outside the parentheses, such as a(b + c) = ab + ac
Distributive Property
Two integers whose product is one.
Multiplicative Inverse
No value for the variable would make the equation. When solving the equation, you are left with unequal constants.
No Solution (Null Set)
To give a value, or meaning, to mathematical expressions, such as symbols and formulas.
interpret
Numbers or quantities that are the same.
Equivalent
Only one value for the variable would make the equation true. When solving the equation, you are left with a variable equal to a constant.
One solution
To reduce to a simpler form by cancellation of common factors, regrouping of terms in the same variable
Simplify
A term with a fixed value in an expression or equation. A constant is not affected by any changes in the variable.
constant
A value on which mathematical operations take place in an expression. Also, a number in a sequence or series.
term
A symbol for a value that is unknown. It is usually represented with a letter such as x or y.
Variable
A letter or number representing a numerical quantity that multiplies a term.
Coefficient
An equation whose graph is a line.
Linear Equation
A value or values that can be substituted for a variable in an equation to make the equation true, the answer to a math question.
solution
Operations that undo each other, such as addition and subtraction or multiplication and division.
Inverse Operations
Two integers whose sum is zero
Additive Inverse
Any value for the variable would make the equation true. When solving the equation, both sides are equal.
infinitely many solutions
A symbol written above and to the right of a mathematical expression to indicate how many times the mathematical expression (base) should be multiplied by itself.
Exponent
What is put into a function, also called x-value, domain, and independent variable
