Algebra 1 Exam Questions And 100%
Correct Answers
Absolute value - ANSWER The distance between a real number and zero on the number
line.
additive inverse - ANSWER The opposite of a number. The sum of a number and its
additive inverse is zero.
algebraic expression - ANSWER A combination of numbers and variables with at least
one arithmetic operation.
associative property - ANSWER The sum or product of terms in an expression does not
depend on how the terms are grouped. Ex: (a+b) + c = a + (b+c)
axis of symmetry - ANSWER The line about which a graph is symmetric.
base - ANSWER The factor that is multiplied repeatedly in an exponential expression.
binomial - ANSWER A polynomial containing two terms.
coefficient - ANSWER The numerical part of a term.
combine like terms Adding or subtracting terms that have the same variable(s) and
exponent(s).
()
commutative property Changing the order of addition or multiplication does not change
the value. Ex: a+b+c = c+a+b
()
compound inequality Two inequalities combined in one statement by the word "and" or
"or".
, ()
consistent system A system of equations with at least one solution.
()
constant A term with no variables.
coordinate plane - ANSWER Created by two number lines intersecting each other at
zero.
coordinates - ANSWER Ordered pairs that define points on a plane.
denominator - ANSWER The bottom half of a fraction.
dependent system - ANSWER A system of equations that has unlimited solutions.
difference - ANSWER The result of a subtraction problem.
difference of two squares - ANSWER A binomial whose terms are perfect squares being
subtracted.
direct variation- ANSWER An equation in the form y=kx, where k does not equal zero.
discriminant- ANSWER The expression inside the radical of the quadratic formula.
distributive property- ANSWER Used to clear parentheses by multiplying a term on the
outside by two or more terms inside the parentheses. Ex: a(b - c) = ab - ac
equation- ANSWER A mathematical sentence with an equal sign.
evaluate To find the value of an expression by following the order of operations.
exponent The number of times a base is multiplied by itself. Also called a power.
extraneous solution A result that does not satisfy the original equation or inequality.
factor An integer that divides another integer with no remainder.
