-The breaking down of a composite number into smaller numbers called factors, which when multiplied together equals the original number
Factor Tree:
-A tree used to find the prime factorization of a positive number
Monomial:
-A number, a variable, or the product of a number and one or more variables raised to the whole number powers
Common Factor:
-A whole number that is a factor of two or more non-zero whole numbers
Greatest Common Factor:
-The greatest whole number that is a common factor of two or more non-zero whole numbers
Relatively Prime:
-Two or more non-zero whole numbers whose greatest common factor is one
:17 & 11 are Relatively Prime numbers
: 71 & 53 are also Relatively Prime numbers
Equivalent Fractions:
-Two fractions that represent the same number
Simplest Form:
- When its numerator and denominator are relatively prime
1/2, 3/4, 1/8, & 7/100 are all fractions in Simplest Form
4/8, 2/4, 5/100, & 6/36 are NOT in Simplest Form
Multiple:
-The product of a number and any non-zero whole number
Multiples of 20- 20,40,60,80,100,& 120
Common Multiple: -A multiple that is shared by two or more numbers -The Common Multiples of 3 and 4 are 0,12, & 24
Least Common Multiple:
- The least common number that is a common multiple of two or more numbers
Least Common Denominator: -The least common multiple of the denominator of two or more fractions
Scientific Notation:
-A number is written in scientific notation if it has the form c times 10 to the n where 1 is less then and equal to c and where c is less than 10 and n is an integer
Chapter 12:
Polynomial:
-A sum of monomials
Examples: - 6x^2+9x-6 - 9b^4+6b-9 - 5f^5-9f+10
- The 6x^2 is supposed to mean 6x to the 5th power -The 9b^4 is supposed to mean 9b to the 4th power - The 5f^5 is supposed to mean 5f to the 5th power
Terms of a Polynomial:
-The monomials that are added together in a polynomial
Examples:
- 9x^2+5x-6
The terms are:
1.) 9x^2
2.) 5x
3.) -6
Binomial:
-A polynomial with 2 terms
Examples:
- 9x^2+6x
- 4z^2+9
- 6a^3+15a
Trinomial:
- A polynomial with 3 terms
Examples:
- 7x^3+5x-9
- 5x^8-9x+6
- 4y^4+8y+4
Degree of a Term:
-The sum of the exponents of the variables in the term
-The degree of a non-zero constant is 0
Example:
The Degree of the term is 7 because the biggest
exponent on the term is 7, therefore the degree is 7.
Degree of a Polynomial:
-The greatest degree of the terms of the polynomial
Example:
The degree of the polynomial is 2 because the biggest
exponent in the polynomial is 2. Therefore, the degree is 2.
Standard Form (Polynomial):
-A polynomial is written in standard form if all like terms are combined and the terms are
arranged so that the degree of each term decreases or stays the same from left to right
