A | B |
Inverse proportion | Two quantities that are inversely related. |
Irrational number | Numbers that cannot be written as a ratio of two integers. It is a non- repeating, non-terminating decimal. |
Line of best fit (regression line) | A line drawn on a scatter plot to best estimate the relationship between two sets of data. |
Median (of a triangle) | A line segment that connects a vertex of a triangle to the midpoint of the side opposite that vertex. |
Midpoint | The point on a line segment that is halfway between the endpoints of that segment. |
Monomial | A number, a variable, or a product of a number and one or more variables (e.g., 7ab). |
Odds | An event occurring is the ratio of the number of ways the event can occur (successes) to the number of ways the event cannot occur (failures). |
Outlier | An element of a set of data that is 1.5 interquartile ranges greater than the upper quartile or less than the lower quartile. |
Polynomial | An algebraic expression that contains one or more monomials. |
Quadratic function | Equations which are expressed in the form y = ax2 + bx + c, where a is not equal to zero. |
Rational number | A number that can be expressed as a ratio of two integers. |
Real number | The combined set of rational and irrational numbers. |
Secant (of a circle) | A line that intersects a circle in exactly two points. |
Semicircle | An arc of a circle whose endpoints are the endpoints of a diameter. |
Slope | The ratio of the change in the vertical distance to the change in the horizontal distance of two points on a line. |
Tangent (of a circle) | A line that touches a circle in exactly one point. |
Trinomial | A polynomial with three terms (e.g., 7a + 4b + 9c). |
