Across
- 4. One value is smaller than another. It is represented by the symbol <
- 6. A shorthand notation that tells you how many times to multiply a number (the base) by itself
- 8. A mathematical function that yields its negative inverse when the variable's sign is flipped
- 10. The greatest value of a set, function, or data sequence
- 11. A number's distance from zero on a number line. It cannot be negative.
- 15. A straight line that touches a curve at a single, exact point without crossing through it.
- 17. The measure of the amount of three-dimensional space an object or region occupies
- 18. Any number that can be expressed as a fraction of two integers
- 19. A mathematical statement comparing two values or expressions that are not strictly equal
- 20. A mathematical expression consisting of variables, constants, and exponents, combined using addition, subtraction, and multiplication
Down
- 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. Limiting the possible inputs (domain) of a function or equation, usually to prevent mathematically impossible operations or to define a specific mathematical behavior
- 3. An expression is a valid arrangement of numbers, variables, and operation symbols (such as +,-,×,÷) that represents a specific value or quantity
- 5. Earning (or paying) interest on both an initial amount and the accumulated interest from previous periods; the interest you earn on interest
- 7. The point where the perpendicular bisectors of the sides of a polygon (usually a triangle) intersect
- 9. The process of breaking down a number or an algebraic expression into a product of simpler building blocks called "factors"
- 12. The inverse of exponentiation. It answers the question: To what power must a base number be raised to produce a given number?
- 13. The number of times a given item, root, or condition appears in a specific set, equation, or function
- 14. The branch of mathematics that studies the relationships between the side lengths and angles of triangles
- 16. The largest positive integer that divides evenly into two or more numbers without leaving a remainder
