Inequality | A mathematical sentence that contains an inequality symbol (i.e., >, <, ≥, ≤, or ≠). |
Integer | A natural number, the additive inverse of a natural number, or zero. |
Interquartile Range (of Data) | The difference between the first (lower) and third (upper) quartile. It represents the spread of the middle 50% of a set of data. |
Inverse | A relation in which the coordinates in each ordered pair are switched from a given relation. |
Irrational Number | A real number that cannot be written as a simple fraction |
Least (or Lowest) Common Multiple (LCM) | The smallest number or expression that is a common multiple of two or more numbers or algebraic terms, other than zero. |
Like Terms | Monomials that contain the same variables and corresponding powers and/or roots. Only the coefficients can be different. |
Line Graph | A graph that uses a line or line segments to connect data points, plotted on a coordinate plane, usually to show trends or changes in data over time. |
Line or Curve of Best Fit | A line or curve drawn on a scatter plot to best estimate the relationship between two sets of data. |
Linear Combination | A method by which a system of linear equations can be solved. |
Linear Equation | An equation for which the graph is a straight line |
Linear Function | A function for which the graph is a non-vertical straight line. It is a first degree polynomial of the common form f(x) = mx + b, where m and b are constants and x is a real variable. |
Linear Inequality | The relation of two expressions using the symbols <, >, ≤, ≥, or ≠ and whose boundary is a straight line. The line divides the coordinate plane into two parts. |
Logarithm | The exponent required to produce a given number |
Logarithmic Equation | An equation which contains a logarithm of a variable or number. |
Mapping | The matching or pairing of one set of numbers to another by use of a rule. |
Maximum Value (of a Graph) | The value of the dependent variable for the highest point on the graph of a curve. |
Mean | A measure of central tendency that is calculated by adding all the values of a set of data and dividing that sum by the total number of values. |
Measure of Central Tendency | A measure of location of the middle (center) of a distribution of a set of data |
Measure of Dispersion | A measure of the way in which the distribution of a set of data is spread out. |
Median | A measure of central tendency that is the middle value in an ordered set of data or the average of the two middle values when the set has two middle values |
Minimum Value (of a Graph) | The value of the dependent variable for the lowest point on the graph of a curve. |
