|
mathematical phrase for a collection of symbols, numbers and operators; composed of terms and operations
|
|
Sum
|
a) to add, and b) the result of adding two or more numbers
|
|
Difference
|
Amount by which one quantity is larger or smaller than another
|
|
Product
|
Result of multiplying two or more numbers
|
|
Quotient
|
Result when one number is divided by another
|
|
Simplify
|
To make plainer or easier; to make less complex
|
|
Like-terms
|
Terms that differ only in their coefficient (for example, 2x and 3x)
|
|
Pronumerals
|
Letter or symbol used to represent a number
|
|
Expand
|
To multiply quantities which then often gets rid of brackets
|
|
Distributive law
|
The rule: a(b+c)=ab+ac
|
|
Factorise
|
To identify quantities that multiply together to give the original quantity or expression
|
|
Taking out common factors
|
to take out the quantity that is a factor of all terms in an expression
|
|
Grouping
|
To put like things together
|
|
Evaluate
|
Substitute numbers into an algebraic expression to find their number values
|
|
Substitution
|
Algebraic process used to find solutions to simultaneous equations (for example, 2x+2y=7; x+y=2)
|
|
Binomial
|
an expression that is a sum or difference of two terms, as 3x + 2y and x2 − 4x.
|
|
Difference of perfect squares
|
The difference of two quantities that are the results of multiplying a whole number or an expression by itself (for example: 9,16,25,x2,(x-2)2
|
|
Quadratic Expressions
|
Algebraic expression in which the highest power that the variable is raised to is 2
|
|
Algebraic fractions
|
Fractions in which letters are used to represent numbers; examples include a/b, xy/z2, and 1/(x + y). Like numerical fractions, algebraic fractions may be simplified or factored. Two equivalent algebraic fractions can be cross-multiplied: if a/b = c/d then ad = bc.
|
|
Cancel
|
to eliminate by striking out a factor common to both the denominator and numerator of a fraction, equivalent terms on opposite sides of an equation, etc
|
|
Parentheses
|
either or both of a pair of signs ( ) used in writing to indicate separate groupings of symbols in mathematics and symbolic logic, etc
|
|
Brackets
|
parentheses of various forms indicating that the enclosed quantity is to be treated as a unit.
