Question 1

Variable

Answer 1

a quantity which during a calculation is assumed to vary or be capable of varying in value. Example:4x: x is the variable

Question 2

Constant

Answer 2

a quantity or parameter that does not change its value whatever the value of the variables, under a given set of conditions.

Question 3

Coefficient

Answer 3

a numerical or constant quantity placed before and multiplying the variable in an algebraic expression (e.g. 4 in 4x y).

Question 4

Base

Answer 4

a number used as the basis of a numeration scale.
a number in terms of which other numbers are expressed as logarithms.

Question 5

Exponent

Answer 5

a quantity representing the power to which a given number or expression is to be raised, usually expressed as a raised symbol beside the number or expression (e.g. 3 in 23 = 2 × 2 × 2).

Question 6

Independent variable

Answer 6

independent variable; plural noun: independent variables
a variable (often denoted by x ) whose variation does not depend on that of another.

Question 7

dependent variable

Answer 7

dependent variable; plural noun: dependent variables
a variable (often denoted by y ) whose value depends on that of another.

Question 8

Domain

Answer 8

the set of possible values of the independent variable or variables of a function.

Question 9

Range

Answer 9

the set of values that a given function can take as its argument varies.

Question 10

Interval

Answer 10

real numbers that contains all real numbers lying between any two numbers of the set. For example, the set of numbers x satisfying 0 ≤ x ≤ 1 is an interval which contains 0, 1, and all numbers in between

Question 11

Interval notation

Answer 11

a shorthand method for writing sets of numbers, namely continuous ranges of real numbers

Question 12

Roster notation

Answer 12

Roster notation of a set is a simple mathematical representation of the set in mathematical form

Question 13

Set builder notation

Answer 13

the different symbols used in the process of working within and across the sets. The simplest set notation used to represent the elements of a set is the curly brackets { }. An example of a set is A = {a, b, c, d}.

Question 14

Conjunction

Answer 14

A conjunction is a statement formed by adding two statements with the connector AND. The symbol for conjunction is ‘∧’ which can be read as ‘and’.

Question 15

Disjunction

Answer 15

The other important form of connective logic is disjunction. A disjunction is a statement involving an or. For two statements p and q, it is written in mathematical notation as p∨q p ∨ q . Again, both p and q have to be either true or false statements.

Question 16

Union

Answer 16

the set that comprises all the elements (and no others) contained in any of two or more given sets.
the operation of forming a union.

Question 17

System

Answer 17

A system of a linear equation comprises two or more equations and one seeks a common solution to the equations. In a system of linear equations, each equation corresponds with a straight line corresponds and one seeks out the point where the two lines intersect.

Question 18

NXn

Answer 18

We can define the set of integers as the set NxN where “x” is the Cartesian Product. In set theory, the Cartesian Product is the combination of all the elements of one set with all the elements of the other set forming pair. So, if N = { 1, 2, 3 … }, then NxN = { (1,1), (1,2), (1,3), …, (2,1),(2,2), …, }

Question 19

Root of an equation

Answer 19

(Alg.) that value which, substituted for the unknown quantity in an equation, satisfies the equation.

Question 20

Intercept

Answer 20

MATHEMATICS
the point at which a given line cuts a coordinate axis; the value of the coordinate at that point.

Question 21

Coordinator

Answer 21

A pair of numbers that describe the position of a point on a coordinate plane by using the horizontal and vertical distances from the two reference axes. Usually represented by (x,y) the x-value and y-value.

Question 22

Coordinate versus value

Answer 22

A set of values that show an exact position. On graphs it is usually a pair of numbers: the first number shows the distance along, and the second number shows the distance up or down. Example: the point (12,5) is 12 units along, and 5 units up.

Question 23

Inequality

Answer 23

the relation between two expressions that are not equal, employing a sign such as ≠ “not equal to,” > “greater than,” or < “less than.”.
MATHEMATICS
a symbolic expression of the fact that two quantities are not equal.

Question 24

Inequality notation

Answer 24

In math, an inequality shows the relationship between two values in an algebraic expression that are not equal. Inequality signs can indicate that one variable of the two sides of the inequality is greater than, greater than or equal to, less than, or less than or equal to another value

Question 25

Zeros

Answer 25

no quantity or number; naught; the figure 0.
“figures from zero to nine”

Question 26

Extrema

Answer 26

the maximum or minimum value of a function.

Question 27

Local/relative/Extrema

Answer 27

A local extremum (or relative extremum) of a function is the point at which a maximum or minimum value of the function in some open interval containing the point is obtained.

Question 28

Expression

Answer 28

MATHEMATICS
a collection of symbols that jointly express a quantity.
“the expression for the circumference of a circle is 2πr”
