A | B |
Mode | A measure of central tendency that is the value or values that occur(s) most often in a set of data. |
Monomial | A polynomial with only one term; it contains no addition or subtraction. It can be a number, a variable, or a product of numbers and/or more variables |
Multiplicative Inverse | The reciprocal of a number |
Mutually Exclusive Events | Two events that cannot occur at the same time (i.e., events that have no outcomes in common). |
Natural Logarithm | The power of e necessary to equal a given number |
Natural Number | A counting number. A number representing a positive, whole amount. Any number from the set of numbers represented by {1, 2, 3, …}. |
Negative Exponent | An exponent that indicates a reciprocal that has to be taken before the exponent can be applied |
Number Line | A graduated straight line that represents the set of all real numbers in order. Typically, it is marked showing integer values. |
Odds | A comparison, in ratio form (as a fraction or with a colon), of outcomes. |
Order of Operations | Rules describing what order to use in evaluating expressions: |
Ordered Pair | A pair of numbers used to locate a point on a coordinate plane, or the solution of an equation in two variables. |
Origin | The point (0, 0) on a coordinate plane. It is the point of intersection for the x-axis and the y-axis. |
Outlier | A value that is much greater or much less than the rest of the data. It is different in some way from the general pattern of data. It directly stands out from the rest of the data. |
Pattern | A set of numbers arranged in order (or in a sequence). The numbers and their arrangement are determined by a rule, including repetition and growth/decay rules. |
Perfect Square | A number whose square root is a whole number |
Permutation | An ordered arrangement of objects from a given set in which the order of the objects is significant |
Point-Slope Form (of a Linear Equation) | An equation of a straight, non-vertical line written in the form y – y1 = m(x – x1), where m is the slope of the line and (x1, y1) is a given point on the line. |
Polynomial | An algebraic expression that is a monomial or the sum or difference of two or more monomials |
Polynomial Function | A function of the form f(x) = anxn + an–1xn–1 + … + a1x + a0, where an ≠ 0 and natural number n is the degree of the polynomial. |
Positive Exponent | Indicates how many times a base number is multiplied by itself. |
Power | The value of the exponent in a term. |
Power of a Power | An expression of the form (am)n. It can be found by multiplying the exponents |
