M

multi-step equation

an equation that requires more than one step to solve

Multiplication Property of Equality

allows us to multiply both sides of an equation by the same amount: For all real numbers a, b, and c, if a = b, then ac = bc

Multiplication Property of Identity

states that any number times 1 equals that number: For all real numbers a, a X 1 = a

Multiplicative Inverse Property (FIX)

states that any number multiplied by 1 over that number equals 1: For all real numbers a, (FIX) ; also called Inverse Property of Multiplication

N

natural numbers

also called counting numbers, the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, ...

nonlinear function

a function with a variable rate of change that graphs as a curved line

nonrepeating decimals

numbers whose decimal parts continue without repeating, these are irrational numbers

nonterminating decimals

numbers whose decimal parts continue (with non-zero digits) forever, these decimals can be rational (if they repeat) or irrational (if they are nonrepeating)

numeric constant

a quantity that has a known, fixed value

O

operation

a mathematical procedure, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division
