Equations• Definitions • An equation is
two things are the same, using mathematics symbols
Associative Property
• Property (which applies both to multiplication and addition) by which numbers can be added or multiplied in any order and still yield the same value, e.g.
Composite Number
• A number with at least one other factor besides itself and one, i.e. not a prime number
Prime Numbers
• Integers greater than 1 which are only divisible by themselves and 1
Slope
• The steepness or incline of a line, determined by reference to two points on the line, e.g. the slope of the line y = mx + b is m, and represents the rate at which y is changing per unit of change in x
Rational Numbers
• Numbers that can be expressed as a fraction (or ratio) a⁄b of two integers (the integers are therefore a subset of the rational), or alternatively a decimal which terminates after a finite number of digits or begins to repeat a sequence
Real Numbers
• All numbers (including natural numbers, integers, decimals, rational numbers and irrational numbers) which do not involve imaginary numbers
Pi (π)
• The ratio of a circumference of a circle to its diameter, an irrational (and transcendental) number approximately equal to 3.141593...
Linear Equation
• An algebraic equation in which each term is either a constant or the product of a constant and the first power of a single variable, and whose graph is therefore a straight line
Irrational Numbers
• Numbers that can not be represented as decimals (because they would contain an infinite number of non-repeating digits) or as fractions of one integer over another
