Q

associative property

A

The associative property holds that under certain operations in a multi-step expression,the computations may be done in any order. Commonly represented as (a + b) + c = a+ (b + c). Addition and multiplication are associative.

Q

commutative

A

The property that the order of the numbers under the operation does not change theresult. Addition and multiplication are commutative: a + b = b + a and ab = ba.

Q

multiplicative inverse

A

The multiplicative inverse of a number x is the number you must multiply x by to get1. For example, 5 and 1/5 are multiplicative inverses.

Q

additive inverse

A

Two numbers equidistant from 0 on a number line whose sum is 0. For example, 3 and-3 are additive inverses.

17
Q

factor

A

An integer that divides another integer. We say an integer, x, is a factor of anotherinteger, y, if the quotient y/x is also equal to an integer.

18
Q

factor tree

A

A graphical method used to identify the prime factorization of an integer.

19
Q

identity property

A

The property that 0 can be added to any number without changing the value of thenumber. Likewise, 1 can be multiplied by any number without changing the value ofthat number.

20
Q

Composite Number

A

A number with more factors than just one and itself.

21
Q

Prome Number

A

A number with only two factors: one and itself.

22
Q

Rational Number

A

A rational number is a number that can be written as a ratio of integers, which meansit can be written as a fraction.

23
Q

Principal Square Root

A

The positive square root of a number. For example, the principal square root of 36 is 6.

24
Q

Prime Factorization

A

Determining the set of prime numbers whose product is the original integer.

25
Q

Continuous

A

A collection of numbers whose values are not dividable into distinct units.

26
Q

Negative square root

A

The negative square root of a perfect square. For example, -6 is the negative squareroot of 36.

27
Q

Proper Fracation

A

the numerator is less than the denominator, and therefore, the value is less than 1

28
Q

Factor

A

integers that divide a number without a remainder. Factors are necessarily smaller than the integer they divide
