dependent events

two or more events for which the occurrence of one affects the probability of the other(s)

dependent value

a value or variable that depends upon the independent value

dependent variable

a value or variable that depends upon the independent value

discrete pattern

a pattern made of separate and distinct values or objects

discrete values

values that change in increments (not continuously)

discriminant

the expression b2 – 4ac under the radical in the quadratic formula; the expression can be used to determine the number of real roots the quadratic equation has

Distributive Property

states that the product of a number and a sum equals the sum of the individual products of the number and the addends: for all real numbers a, b, and c, a(b + c) = ab + ac

Division Property of Equality

allows us to divide both sides of an equation by the same amount: For all real numbers a, b, and c, if a = b and c is not 0, then

domain

the set of all possible inputs of a function which allow the function to work
E

elimination method

a method of solving a system of equations by adding or subtracting equations in order to eliminate a common variable
