Term
Area Definition 
Definition

The area of a flat, or plane figure is the number of unit squares that can be contained within it. The unit square is usually some standard unit, like a square meter, a square foot, or a square inch.

The size of a surface. The amount of space inside the boundary of a flat (2-dimensional) object such as a triangle or circle


Term
Volume Definition
Definition

Volume is the measure of the amount of space inside of a solid figure, like a cube, ball, cylinder or pyramid. It's units are always "cubic", that is, the number of little element cubes that fit inside the figure.

V=a units3

Term
Logarithms (Logs)
Definition

Logarithms are the "opposite" of exponentials, just as subtraction is the opposite of addition and division is the opposite of multiplication. Logs "undo" exponentials. Technically speaking, logs are the inversesof exponentials.

—The Relationship—        
  y = bx

  
..............is equivalent to...............
(means the exact same thing as)

logb(y) = 


Term
Order Of Operations
Definition

PEMDAS (Parentheses / Exponents / Multiply / Divide / Add / Subtract)M&D are evaluated from left to right same with A&S  ex. 9 - 5 ÷ (8 - 3) x 2 + 6 2

P- (8-3)=5 making it 9-5÷5*2+62

E- 62=36        making it 9-5÷5*2+36

M&D- 5=1, 1*2=2 making it 9-2+36

A&S- 9-2=7, 7+36=43

9-5÷(8-3)*2+62=43


Term
Integers:
Definition

 

ex.   . . . , -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, . . .

 

Term
Rationals:
Definition
fractions, that is, anything expressable as a ratio of integers
Term
Reals:
Definition
integers plus rationals plus special numbers such as √ 2, √ 3 and π
Term
Slope
Definition

Slope is the measure of how a line changes. It’s expressed as: the change along the y-axis/the change along the x-axis, or  rise/run   ~Given two points, A(x1,y1), B(x2,y2), find the slope of the line that connects them:

(y2−y1)
(x2−x1)

 

 

Term
Slope-intercept form
Definition

A linear equation is written as y=mx+b     m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the point of the line that crosses the y-axis)     A line that passes through the origin (y-axis at 0), is written as y=mx   If you get an equation that is NOT written this way (i.e. mx−y=b), re-write it into         y=mx+b
