  • Addition Property of Equality
    the property that states that if you add the same number to both sides of an equation, the new equation will have the same solution
  • Subtraction Property of Equality
    the property that states that if you subtract the same number from both sides of an equation, the new equation will have the same solution

    a plane formed by the intersection of a horizontal number line called the x-axis and a vertical number line called the y-axis
  • x-axis
    the horizontal axis on a coordinate plane
  • y-axis
    the vertical axis on a coordinate plane
  • x-coordinate
    the first number in an ordered pair; it tells the distance to move right or left from the origin
  • y-coordinate
    the second number in an ordered pair; it tells the distance to move up or down from the origin
  • origin
    the point where the x-axis and y-axis intersect on the coordinate plane; (0,0)
  • graph of an equation
    a graph of the set of ordered pairs that are solutions of the equation
  • integers
    the set of whole numbers and their opposites
  • opposites
    two numbers that are an equal distance from zero on a number line (additive inverse)
  • absolute value
    the distance of a number from zero on a number line; shown by | |
  • power
    a number produced by raising a base to an exponenet
  • exponential form
    a number is in exponential form when it is written with a base and an exponent
  • exponent
    the number that indicates how many times the base is used as a factor
  • base
    when a number is raised to a power, the number that is used as a factor is the base
  • scientific notation
    a method of writing very large or very small numbers by using power of 10
  • rational number
    any number that can be expressed as a ratio of two integers
  • relatively prime
    two numbers are relatively prime if their greatest common factor (GCF) is 1
  • reciprocal
    one of two numbers whose product is 1; also called multiplicative inverse
  • least common denominator (LCD)
    the least common multiple of two or more denominators
  • principal square root
    the nonnegative square root of a number
  • perfect square
    a square of a whole number
  • irrational number
    a number that cannot be expressed as a ratio of two integers or as a repeating or terminating decimal
  • real number
    a rational or irrational number
  • Density Property
    the property that states that between any two real numbers, there is always another real number
  • population
    the entire group of objects or individuals considered for a survey
  • sample
    a part of the population
  • biased sample
    a sample that does not fairly represent the population
  • random sample
    a sample in which each individual or object in the entire population has an equal chance of being selected
  • systematic sample
    a sample of a population that has been selected using a pattern
  • stratified sample
    a sample of a population that has been divided into subgroups
  • stem-and-leaf plot
    a graph used to organize and display data so that the frequencies can be compared
