Module 1

Question 1

Composite Number

Answer 1

has more than just 1 factor.

Question 2

Irrational Number

Question 3

Discreet

Answer 3

discrete if its values are distinct, separate, and unconnected.

Question 4

continuous

Answer 4

If the values within the set are connected, without gaps, the collection is considered

Question 5

Prime Number

Question 6

factorization

Answer 6

The process of determining the prime factors of a composite number.

Question 7

Whole Number

Answer 7

A number whose value is 0 or greater (negative numbers are not considered whole numbers) and can be represented without a fractional or a decimal

Question 8

associative property

Answer 8

The associative property holds that under certain operations in a multi-step expression,the computations may be done in any order. Commonly represented as (a + b) + c = a+ (b + c). Addition and multiplication are associative.

Question 9

integer

Answer 9

A number, (positive, negative, or zero), that can be represented without a fractional ora decimal component.

Question 10

commutative

Answer 10

The property that the order of the numbers under the operation does not change theresult. Addition and multiplication are commutative: a + b = b + a and ab = ba.

Question 11

multiplicative inverse

Answer 11

The multiplicative inverse of a number x is the number you must multiply x by to get1. For example, 5 and 1/5 are multiplicative inverses.

Question 12

greatest commonfactor (GCF)

Answer 12

The greatest common factor of any two integers a and b is the greatest number that isboth a factor of a and a factor of b.

Question 13

base number

Answer 13

The number multiplied by itself when paired with an exponent. For example, in 8 tothe third power, 8 would be the base number.

Question 14

Fundamental Theorem of arithmetic

Answer 14

A concept which states that any integer greater than 1 is either prime or is the productof a unique set of prime numbers.

Question 15

Real Numbers

Answer 15

Any numbers on the number line. Real numbers include zero, negative and positiveintegers, fractions, and decimals.

Question 16

additive inverse

Answer 16

Two numbers equidistant from 0 on a number line whose sum is 0. For example, 3 and-3 are additive inverses.

Question 17

factor

Answer 17

An integer that divides another integer. We say an integer, x, is a factor of anotherinteger, y, if the quotient y/x is also equal to an integer.

Question 18

factor tree

Answer 18

A graphical method used to identify the prime factorization of an integer.

Question 19

identity property

Answer 19

The property that 0 can be added to any number without changing the value of thenumber. Likewise, 1 can be multiplied by any number without changing the value ofthat number.

Question 20

Composite Number

Answer 20

A number with more factors than just one and itself.

Question 21

Prome Number

Answer 21

A number with only two factors: one and itself.

Question 22

Rational Number

Answer 22

A rational number is a number that can be written as a ratio of integers, which meansit can be written as a fraction.

Question 23

Principal Square Root

Answer 23

The positive square root of a number. For example, the principal square root of 36 is 6.

Question 24

Prime Factorization

Answer 24

Determining the set of prime numbers whose product is the original integer.

Question 25

Continuous

Answer 25

A collection of numbers whose values are not dividable into distinct units.

Question 26

Negative square root

Answer 26

The negative square root of a perfect square. For example, -6 is the negative squareroot of 36.

Question 27

Proper Fracation

Answer 27

the numerator is less than the denominator, and therefore, the value is less than 1

Question 28

Factor

Answer 28

integers that divide a number without a remainder. Factors are necessarily smaller than the integer they divide
