integersthe numbers ..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3,... |
intercepta point where a line meets or crosses a coordinate axis |
intercept form of a quadratic equationwritten as y = a(x – p)(x – q), where the x-intercepts are p and q |
inverse function (FIX)a nonlinear function in which the reciprocal of the independent variable times a constant equals the dependent variable, as in |
Inverse Operationsoperations that undo or cancel one another, such as addition/subtraction and multiplication/division |
Inverse Property of Additionstates that every real number added to its additive inverse (or opposite) will equal zero: for all real numbers a, a + (-a) = 0; also called Additive Inverse Property |
Inverse Property of Multiplication (FIX)states that any number multiplied by 1 over that number equals 1: For all real numbers a, (FIX) ; also called Multiplicative Inverse Property |
irrational numbers (FIX)numbers between integers that cannot be written as a ratio of integers (that is, as (FIX) where p and q are both integers), the decimal representation of an irrational number is non-repeating and non-terminating |
J
justifyprovide a logical argument for a conclusion or conjecture |
L
least common denominatorthe smallest number or expression that is a multiple of all the denominators in a group of fractions or rational expressions |
