Absolute Value
The distance a number is from zero on the number line. For example -5 is 5 units away from
zero. It would be written as |-5|
Acute Angle
An angle whose measure is less than 90 degrees
Addition
The operation, or process, of calculating the sum of two numbers or quantities
Additive Inverse
The number that when added to the original number will result in a sum of zero
Adjacent Angles
Two angles that share a ray, thereby being directly next to each other
Angle Bisector
A ray that divides an angle into two congruent angles
Area
The number of square units needed to cover a surface
Associative Property
This property applies both to multiplication and addition and states that you can group several
numbers that are being added or multiplied (not both) in any way and yield the same value. In
mathematical terms, for all real numbers a, b, and c, (a+b)+c=a+(b+c) or (ab)c=a(bc)
Average
It is better to avoid this sometimes vague term. It usually refers to the (arithmetic) mean, but it
can also signify the median, the mode, the geometric mean, and weighted means, among other
things
Average expected payoff
An estimate of the amount that will be gained in a game of chance, calculated by multiplying the
probability of winning by the number of points won each time
Axioms of probability
There are three axioms of probability: 1. Probability is always more than zero 2. The chance that
something happens is 1,or 100% 3. If two events cannot both occur at the same time, the chance
that either one occurs is the sum of the chances that each occurs

the 4, 5, and 3 are coefficients for the d, t2, and s
Combinatorics is often part of the study of probability and statistics

Commutative Property
This property of both multiplication and addition states that you can rearrange the order of the
numbers being added or reorder numbers being multiplied without changing the value of the
expression. In mathematical terms, for all real numbers a and b, a+b=b+a and ab=ba
Complementary Angles
Two angles that have a sum of 90 degrees
Complementary Probability
Considering probabilites in decimal form, the sum of two probabilites equal to one. As a percent,
the two probabilites are considered complementary if they sum to 100%.
Complex Numbers
One can think of them as an ordered pair of numbers. Complex numbers helped earlier
mathematicians deal with the problem of taking the square root of a negative number. A complex
number takes the form a + b*sqrt(-1), where a and b are real numbers
Congruent
Two figures are congruent to one another if they have the same size and shape
Constant Functions
Functions that stay the same no matter what the variable does are called constant functions
Constants
In math, things that do not change: for example distance, volume, mass, are called constants. The
things that do change are called variables
ContinuousGraph
In a graph, a continuous line with no breaks in it forms a continuous graph
Coordinate Plane
A plane with a point selected as an origin, some length selected as a unit of distance, and two
perpendicular lines that intersect at the origin, with positive and negative direction selected on
each line. Traditionally, the lines are called x (drawn from left to right, with positive direction to
the right of the origin) and y (drawn from bottom to top, with positive direction upward of the
origin). Coordinates of a point are determined by the distance of this point from the lines, and the
signs of the coordinates are determined by whether the point is in the positive or in the negative
direction from the origin
Coordinates
A unique ordered pair of numbers that identifies a point on the coordinate plane. The first
number in the ordered pair identifies the position with regard to the x-axis while the second
number identifies the position on the y-axis.
Corresponding Angles
Two angles in the same relative position on two lines when those lines are cut by a transversal
Cube
A prism with six square faces
D  (9)
Decimal
Short for the term "decimal fraction", a decimal is another way to represent fractional numbers.
The decimal uses place value to express the value of a number as opposed to a fraction that uses
a numerator and denominator.
Decimal Number
A fraction where the denominator is a power of ten and is therefore expressed using a decimal
point. For example: 0.37 is the decimal equivalent of 37/100
Degress
A circle is measured in units called degrees. The entire circle is 360 degrees, half a circle is 180
degrees, and one quarter of a circle is 90 degrees. The "L" shaped 90 degree circle forms what is
called a right angle. When examining circular objects, such as spinners, the size of each segment
in the circle can be described in degrees
Denominator
In a rational number, the number below the fraction bar that indicates how many parts the whole
is divided into. See also numerator
Discontinuous Graph
A line in a graph that is interrupted, or has breaks in it forms a discontinuous graph
Disjoint events
Two events are disjoint if they can't both happen at the same time (in other words, if they have
no outcomes in common). Equivalently, two events are disjoint if their intersection is the empty
set
Distributive Property
Summing two numbers and then multiplying by another number yields the same value as
multiplying both values by the other value and then adding. In mathematical terms, for all real
numbers a, b, and c, a(b+c) = ab+ac

Domain function of F
The set of numbers x for which f(x) is defined
E  (12)
Estimate
The best guess arrived at after considering all the information given in a problem
Euclidean Algorithm
The method for finding remainders by multiplying the divisor by the quotient and subtracting
that amount from the number being divided. For example, when finding the remainder for 25
divided by 4, the quotient is 6, so one multiplies 6 times 4 (giving 24) and then subtracts 24 from
25, leaving 1 as the remainder
Event
In probability, an event is an occurrence or the possibility of an occurrence that is being
investigated

Expected value
The amount that is predicted to be gained, using the calculation for average expected payoff
Exponent
An expression of the number of times that a base is used as a factor
F  (7)
Factor
Any of the numbers or symbols in mathematics that when multiplied together form a product.
For example, 3 is a factor of 12, because 3 can be multiplied by 4 to give 12. Similarly, 5 is a
factor of 20, because 5 times 4 is 20
Fraction
A rational number of the form a/b where a is called the numerator and b is called the
denominator

is then replaced by the generator for the fractal
Input
The number or value that is entered, for example, into a function machine. The number that goes
into the machine is the input
Integer
Any positive or negative number that does not include a fraction or decimal, including zero
Intercept
See x-intercept or y-intercept
J  (2)
Joint Probability
The probability of event A and event B happening at the same time is expressed as P(A & B).
For independent events A and B, P(A & B)=P(A)P(B). P(A & B) is also known as the
probability of intersection of events A and B, from the Venn diagram description
L  (10)
Limit

necessarily ever reached; the numbers in the sequence eventually get arbitrarily close to the limit
Line
A continuous extent of length containing two or more points
Line Graph
A diagram showing a system of connections or interrelations between two or more things by
using lines
Line Segment
A piece of a line with endpoints at both ends
Linear
An equation or graph is linear if the graph of an equation is a straight line
Linear Function
A function of the form f(x) = mx + b where m and b are some fixed numbers. The names "m"
and "b" are traditional. Functions of this kind are called "linear" because their graphs are straight
lines
Logarithm
The exponent of the power to which a base number must be raised to equal a given number. An
example: 2 is the logarithm of 100 to the base 10. One can look at this way: 10 * 10 = 100, which
is the same as 102, and 2 is the exponent referred to above
M  (12)
Mean
The sum of a list of numbers, divided by the total number of numbers in the list. Also called
arithmetic mean
Median
"Middle value" of a list. The smallest number such that at least half the numbers in the list are no
greater than it. If the list has an odd number of entries, the median is the middle entry in the list
after sorting the list into increasing order. If the list has an even number of entries, the median is
equal to the sum of the two middle (after sorting) numbers divided by two. The median can be
estimated from a histogram by finding the smallest number such that the area under the
histogram to the left of that number is 50%
Mixed Numbers
Numbers that have both whole numbers and fractions, such as 4 5/8
Mode
For lists, the mode is the most common (frequent) value. A list can have more than one mode.
For histograms, a mode is a relative maximum ("bump"). A data set has no mode when all the
numbers appear in the data with the same frequency. A data set has multiple modes when two or
more values appear with the same frequency.

Modular Arithmetic
A method for finding remainders where all the possible numbers (the numbers less than the
divisor) are put in a circle, and then by counting around the circle the number of times of the
number being divided, the remainder will be the final number landed on
Modulus
A unit of measure. For example, when measuring days, a modulus could be 24 for the number of
hours in a day. 75 hours would be divided by 24 to give 3 remainder 3, or 3 days and 3 hours.
See also modular arithmetic
Multiplication
The operation by which the product of two quantities is calculated. To multiply a number b by c
is to add b to itself c times
Multiplication rule
The probability that events A and B both occur, is equal to the conditional probability that A
occurs given that B occurs, times the unconditional probability that B occurs: P(A and
B)=P(A/B)*P(B)
Multiplicative Inverse
The number that when multiplied by the original number will result in a product of one
N  (4)

of interest gives the value of theta in the coordinate pair (r,theta) used in the polar coordinate
system.
Polygon
A closed plane figure formed by three or more line segments that do not cross over each other
Prime Number
A number that has exactly two factors, 1 and the number itself
Probability
The measure of how likely it is for an event to occur. The probability of an event is always a
number between zero and 100%. The meaning (interpretation) of probability is the subject of
theories of probability. However, any rule for assigning probabilities to events has to satisfy the
axioms of probability
Proportion
A relationship between two ratios is proportional if the two ratios are equal in value.
Protractor
An instrument used to measure and draw angles on a flat surface.
Q  (4)
Quadrant
In Cartesian Coordinate geometry, the coordinate plane is divided into four parts. Each of the
four parts is called a "quadrant" and is designated by a roman numeral, I, II, III, or IV. Quadrant
I contains all coordinates with positive x and positive y values; Quadrant II contains all negative
x and positive y values; Quadrant III contains all negative x and negative y values; and Quadrant
IV contains all positive x and negative y values.

function turns into a linear function)
Quadrilateral
A polygon that has four sides
Quotient
When performing division, the number of times one value can be multiplied to reach the other
value represents the quotient. For example, when dividing 7 by 3, 3 can be multiplied twice,
making 6, and the remainder is 1, so the quotient is 2
R  (18)

plane
Rectangle
A parallelogram with four right angle
Regular Polygon
A polygon whose side lengths are all the same and whose interior angle measures are all the
same
Remainders
After dividing one number by another, if any amount is left that does not divide evenly, that
amount is called the remainder. For example, when 8 is divided by 3, three goes in to eight twice
(making 6), and the remainder is 2. When dividing 9 by 3, there is no remainder, because 3 goes
in to 9 exactly 3 times, with nothing left over
