Algebra EOC RC 1 Review

Front

What is the process of combining like terms in an algebraic expression?

Back

Combining like terms involves adding or subtracting coefficients of terms that have the same variable raised to the same power.

Front

What is the standard form of a quadratic function?

Back

The standard form of a quadratic function is f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c, where a, b, and c are constants.

Front

How do you factor a quadratic expression of the form ax^2 + bx + c?

Back

To factor a quadratic expression, find two numbers that multiply to ac (the product of a and c) and add to b. Then, rewrite the expression using these numbers.

Front

What is the slope-intercept form of a linear equation?

Back

The slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Front

How do you convert a linear equation from standard form to slope-intercept form?

Back

To convert from standard form (Ax + By = C) to slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), solve for y in terms of x.

Front

What does it mean for two expressions to be equivalent?

Back

Two expressions are equivalent if they have the same value for all values of the variable(s) involved.

Front

What is the distributive property in algebra?

Back

The distributive property states that a(b + c) = ab + ac, meaning you can distribute a factor across a sum.

Front

What is a polynomial?

Back

A polynomial is an algebraic expression that consists of variables raised to non-negative integer powers and coefficients.

Front

What is the degree of a polynomial?

Back

The degree of a polynomial is the highest power of the variable in the expression.

Front

What is the difference between a monomial, binomial, and trinomial?

Back

A monomial has one term, a binomial has two terms, and a trinomial has three terms.
