  1. 4. One value is smaller than another. It is represented by the symbol <
  2. 6. A shorthand notation that tells you how many times to multiply a number (the base) by itself
  3. 8. A mathematical function that yields its negative inverse when the variable's sign is flipped
  4. 10. The greatest value of a set, function, or data sequence
  5. 11. A number's distance from zero on a number line. It cannot be negative.
  6. 15. A straight line that touches a curve at a single, exact point without crossing through it.
  7. 17. The measure of the amount of three-dimensional space an object or region occupies
  8. 18. Any number that can be expressed as a fraction of two integers
  9. 19. A mathematical statement comparing two values or expressions that are not strictly equal
  10. 20. A mathematical expression consisting of variables, constants, and exponents, combined using addition, subtraction, and multiplication

  1. 1. A shorthand method used to divide a polynomial by a linear binomial (e.g., \(x - c\)). It is commonly used as a faster, more space-efficient alternative to polynomial long division
  2. 2. Limiting the possible inputs (domain) of a function or equation, usually to prevent mathematically impossible operations or to define a specific mathematical behavior
  3. 3. An expression is a valid arrangement of numbers, variables, and operation symbols (such as +,-,×,÷) that represents a specific value or quantity
  4. 5. Earning (or paying) interest on both an initial amount and the accumulated interest from previous periods; the interest you earn on interest
  5. 7. The point where the perpendicular bisectors of the sides of a polygon (usually a triangle) intersect
  6. 9. The process of breaking down a number or an algebraic expression into a product of simpler building blocks called "factors"
  7. 12. The inverse of exponentiation. It answers the question: To what power must a base number be raised to produce a given number?
  8. 13. The number of times a given item, root, or condition appears in a specific set, equation, or function
  9. 14. The branch of mathematics that studies the relationships between the side lengths and angles of triangles
  10. 16. The largest positive integer that divides evenly into two or more numbers without leaving a remainder
