Term

When considering zero product property if one expression or variable is known to be zero, what about the other variable/expression.

D.S. TIP!

Definition

If one is 0, the other may or may not be 0. it could be other values.

e.g. x=0 

x(y-3)=0.

 

Here since x=0, y-3=0 or y-3/=0 so we cant with certainty equate y-3. 

Term
What can be said about 2 INTEGERS when the product is 1.
Definition
D.S. TIP If we know 2 integers product = 1 then each integer is either -1 or +1
Term
What are negative integers
Definition
Numbers without fraction or decimal to left of 0 on the number line are negative integers, farther away from 0 smaller they are.
Term
What are positive integers
Definition
Whole numbers to the right of 0 on the number line are positive integers. Farther from 0, larger they are.
Term
What are whole numbers
Definition
All positive integers and 0 are whole numbers
Term
Is 0 positive or negative.
Definition
Zero is neither positive nor negative
Term
What is the square root of 0
Definition
Zero
Term
What is k if
k = -k
Definition
0. 0 is the only number where k=-k
Term
What is a multiple of every number
Definition
0
Term
What is x^0 for all x
Definition
1. Any number raised to 0 is 1
Term
Which number is a factor of all numbers
Definition
1
Term
What is the first prime number
Definition
2. 0 is even and 1 is odd and not prime
Term
What type of integer does the expression 2N represent
Definition
Even integers.
Term
What type of integer does the expression 2n+1 or 2n-1 represent for all integers n
Definition
Odd integers
Term
What combination of odd or even integers in addition or subtraction gives an odd integer?
Definition
Odd+Even or Odd-Even. All other combinations are even
Term
What combination of odd or even integers when multiplied results in an odd integer
Definition
Odd*odd. All other integers combination give a even integer
Term
Given XY + Y^2 is odd. What can we say about x and y.
Definition
X must be even and Y must be odd. Y(X+Y) = odd. so Y and (x+Y) must be odd. For x+y to be odd, x has to be odd, since y is odd.
Term
What could be said about x,y and z if xyz=even
Definition
IF just one variable is even, xyz = even.
Can have any combination of odds (yz, xz, zy). Just one even makes it even. Similarly if all odd, it would be odd.
Term
If x is an integer. Is x odd or even if
Even/Even = X
Definition
X could be even or odd.
Term
If x is an integer. Is x odd or even if
Even/Odd = X
Definition
X must be Even. This is corollary of Even*Odd=Even => Even = Even/Odd
Term
What is the remainder when even numbers are divided be 2
Definition
0
Term
What is the remainder when odd numbers are divided by 2
Definition
1
Term
What is a factor. Define using x & Y
Definition
Considering whole numbers, If X/Y = Integer. then Y is a factor of X.
Term
What are the largest and smallest factors of any whole number?
Definition
The smallest is 1 and largest is the number itself. range of values for the factor is 1<=y<=x, given x/y = whole number. Note this is the same as saying X is the factor of "something" if "something"/x = integer
Term
How to check if "something" is a multiple of x
Definition
"something"/X should be = integer/whole number
Term
what number has only the number itself and 1 as factors
Definition
prime numbers
Term
If y is a positive integer. How many more prime factors does Y^5 and y^11 have compared to Y.
Definition
None. A positive integer raised to another positive integer has the same number of unique prime factors as the base number
Term
What can be said about GCF and LCM in a set of positive integers
Definition
The LCM will be greater or equal to the largest number in the set.
GCF will be greater than or equal to the smallest number in the set
Term
What can be said about consecutive integers and the divisibility by 3
Definition
3 consecutive integers, at least one will be divisible by 3. This can be extrapolated to 2,5 et.c
Term
What is the factorial divisbility rule
Definition
The product of any set of n consecutive integers is divisible by n!
Term

Definition
1, 64 , 729 ,
Term
How can we determine if a fraction m/n is going to be terminating decimal or not
