What is the Pythagorean Theorem?

Define a linear equation.

Back

A linear equation is an equation that makes a straight line when graphed. It can be written in the form y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

What is the slope of a line?

Back

The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness, usually represented by the letter m. It is calculated as the change in y divided by the change in x (rise/run).

Front

Explain the concept of a function.

Back

A function is a relation between a set of inputs and a set of possible outputs where each input is related to exactly one output. It can be represented as f(x).

Front

What is the difference between mean, median, and mode?

Back

Mean is the average of a set of numbers, median is the middle value when the numbers are arranged in order, and mode is the number that appears most frequently.

Front

How do you solve a system of equations using substitution?

Back

To solve a system of equations using substitution, solve one equation for one variable and substitute that expression into the other equation.

Front

What is the area of a triangle?

Back

The area of a triangle can be calculated using the formula: Area = 1/2 * base * height.

Front

Define the term 'variable' in mathematics.

Back

A variable is a symbol, often represented by letters, that stands for a number that can change or vary.

Front

What is the quadratic formula?

Back

The quadratic formula is used to find the solutions of a quadratic equation ax² + bx + c = 0. It is given by: x = (-b ± √(b² - 4ac)) / (2a).

Front

Explain what a rational number is.

Back

A rational number is any number that can be expressed as the quotient or fraction p/q of two integers, where p is the numerator and q is the denominator (q ≠ 0).
