25 Questions

1. A mathematical statement that asserts the equality of two expressions - this is written by placing the expressions on either side of an equals sign (=).

2. Two equations in two variables - it is often possible to find the solutions of both variables that satisfy both equations.

3. Introduces the concept of variables representing numbers. Statements based on these variables are manipulated using the rules of operations that apply to numbers - such as addition. This can be done for a variety of reasons - including equation solvi

4. A value that represents a quantity along a continuum - such as -5 (an integer) - 4/3 (a rational number that is not an integer) - 8.6 (a rational number given by a finite decimal representation) - v2 (the square root of two - an algebraic number that

5. (a

6. b = b

7. Is an equation involving a transcendental function of one of its variables.

8. Is an equation in which the unknowns are functions rather than simple quantities.

9. If a < b and c < 0

10. The process of expressing the unknowns in terms of the knowns is called

11. In which abstract algebraic methods are used to study combinatorial questions.

12. Letters from the beginning of the alphabet like a - b - c... often denote

13. Is an assignment of values to all the unknowns so that all of the equations are true. also called set simultaneous equations.

14. () is the branch of mathematics concerning the study of the rules of operations and relations - and the constructions and concepts arising from them - including terms - polynomials - equations and algebraic structures.

15. Can be combined using the function composition operation - performing the first rotation and then the second.

16. If a < b and c > 0

17. Logarithm (Log)

18. 1 - which preserves numbers: a

19. The operation of exponentiation means ________________: a^n = a

20. Is an action or procedure which produces a new value from one or more input values.

21. There are two common types of operations:

22. Is to add - subtract - multiply - or divide both sides of the equation by the same number in order to isolate the variable on one side of the equation. Once the variable is isolated - the other side of the equation is the value of the variable.

23. Are denoted by letters at the beginning - a - b - c - d - ...

24. In which the specific properties of vector spaces are studied (including matrices)

25. The value produced is called
