  1. 1. a rule or equation describing the relationship of two or more variables or quantities
  2. 5. a line on which all points correspond to real numbers (a simple number line may only mark integers, but in theory all real numbers to +/- infinity can be shown on a number line)
  3. 6. a branch of mathematics that uses symbols or letters to represent variables, values or numbers, which can then be used to express operations and relationships and to solve equations
  4. 9. an algebraic equation in which each term is either a constant or the product of a constant and the first power of a single variable, and whose graph is therefore a straight line
  5. 11. any integer, ration or real number which is less than 0
  6. 15. the ratio of a circumference of a circle to its diameter, an irrational (and transcendental) number approximately equal to 3.141593…
  7. 16. numbers that can not be represented as decimals (because they would contain an infinite number of non-repeating digits) or as fractions of one integer over another
  8. 17. the correspondence in size, form or arrangement of parts on a plane or line (line symmetry is where each point on one side of a line has a corresponding point on the opposite side
  9. 18. in an algebraic expression or equation, either a single number or variable, or the product of several numbers and variables separated from another term by a + or - sig
  10. 19. whole numbers, both positive (natural numbers) and negative, including zero

  1. 1. a way of writing rational numbers (numbers that are not whole numbers), also used to represent ratios or division, in the form of a numerator over a denominator
  2. 2. a number that will divide into another number exactly
  3. 3. a diagram where sets are represented as simple geometric figures (often circles), and overlapping and similar sets are represented by intersections and unions of the figures
  4. 4. the act of squaring, or finding a square equal in area to a given figure, or finding the area of a geometrical figure or the area under a curve (such as by a process of numerical integration)
  5. 7. property whereby summing two numbers and then multiplying by another number yields the same value as multiplying both values by the other value and then adding them together
  6. 8. the steepness or incline of a line, determined by reference to two points on the line
  7. 10. a number that is the sum of its divisors (excluding the number itself)
  8. 12. a triangle (three sided polygon) containing an angle of 90°
  9. 13. a relation or correspondence between two sets in which one element of the second (codomain or range) set ƒ(x) is assigned to each element of the first (domain) set x
  10. 14. a real number which expresses fractions on the base 10 standard numbering system using place value
