Term
Natural Numbers
Definition
1,2,3
Term
Whole Numbers
Definition
0, 1, 2, 3
Term
Integers
Definition
Number line -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3
Term
Rational
Definition
all numbers except decimals that don't repeat or don't terminate like pie
Term
Irrational
Definition
pie etc sqr 2, decimals that don't end and don't have a pattern
Term
Real Numbers
Definition
Everything
Term
Commutative Property of Addition
Definition
When adding any 2 or more numbers,
3 + 4 = 4 + 3
7 = 7
Term
Associative Property of Addition
Definition
When adding 3 or more numbers, (3 + 4) + 5 3 + (4 + 5)
7 + 5 = 12 3 + 9 = 12
• Associative
Term
Commutative Property of Multiplication
Definition
When multiplying any 2 or more numbers, changing the order does not change the
product. 3 · 4 = 4 · 3
12 = 12
Term
Associative Property of Multiplication
Definition
When multiplying any 3 numbers, changing the grouping does not change the product.
(3 · 4)5 3(4 · 5)
12 · 5 = 60 3 · 20 = 60
Term
distributive property of multiplication
Definition
Distribute it out of the parenthesis to multi 3(2 + 7 - 5) = 3(2) + 3(7) + (3)(-5)

3(4) = 6 + 21 - 15

12 = 12
Term
Multiplicative inverse property
Definition
If you multiply two numbers and the product is 1,
4 × 1/4 = 1

1/4 is also the multiplicative inverse of 4 because 1/4 × 4 = 1
Term
Multiplicative Identity Property:
Definition
For example 5 * 1 = 5.
Term
Voting Plurality
Definition
Most 1st place votes wins
Term
Borda Method
Definition
3 candidates,each 1st place vote is worth 3 points, 2-2 3-1 then add up total points, candidate with the most points wins
Term
Plurality with ellimantion
Definition
Remove the lowest vote getter and move everyone up a spot to count the votes. Keep doing this by rounds until there are only 2 choices left.
Term
Pair Wise
Definition
Set every candidate up in a pair with every other candidate. 1 point is awarded in each round that they beat that person (.5 for ties)
Total points for each candidate to find winner
Term
Factoring
Definition
divide by 2, if that does not work move up and keep trying until no longer divisible.
Term
GCD
Definition
the largest whole number that's a divisor (factor) of both of them.
Use factor tree then take the largest number found in both trees.
Term
LCM
Definition
Factor tree, then take the largest exponent version of every number and multiply all of those numbers.
Term
Majority Criterion
Definition
Most First Place Votes
Term
Head-to-Head
Definition
Compared to every other candidate and preferred he wins.
Term
Monotonicity
Definition
Wins, then in a revote only changes happen to favor the candidate then they should win again
Term
Irrelevant
Definition
Wins, then a recount, one or more other candidates are removed, it should not effect the outcome.
Term
Fairness by election type, Plurality
Definition
majority, Monotonicity, may meet Irrelevant sometimes
Term
Fairness by election type: Borda Count
Definition
Monotonicity, mabey on all others
Term
Fairness by election type: Pairwise
Definition
Majority, head-to-head, monotonicity, maybe Irrelevant
Term
Fairness by election type:Plurality with Elimination
Definition
Majority always, maybe the others
Term
Arrow's Impossibility Theorom
Definition
Basically mathematically impossible to satisfy all 4 fairness criteria
Term
divisible by 2 if???
Definition
Ends in 0 or an even number
Term
divisible by 3 if
Definition
add up the numbers...if that new number is divisible by 3
Term
divide by 4 if
Definition
last two numbers are like 524 is because 24 can be divided by 4
Term
divide by 5 if
Definition
ends in 0 or 5
Term
divide by 6 if
Definition
if you can divide by both 2 and 3 then yes
Term
divide by 8 if
Definition
Last three digits are a number that is divisible by 8 example 123,960, 960/8=120
Term
divide by 9 if
Definition
add last three digits and divide by 9
Term
Divide by 10
Definition
Last number 0
Term
Divide by 11 if
Definition
add the odds places, then add the evens places then subtract those two numbers. Then divide that new number by 11 to check it
