Key Terms:
NLN NEX Exam, Nursing Entrance Exam, Dosage Calculations, Fractions, Decimals, Ratios,
Percentages, Conversions, IV Flow Rate, Word Problems
Place Value
The value of digits in a multi-digit number with respect to their position in the number
Whole Numbers
All natural numbers along with 0
It allows us to represent quantities in a discrete, non-fractional manner
Integers
All positive & negative whole numbers along with 0
Allow the representation of quantities above & below 0
Prime Numbers
,Integers greater than 1 that have only 2 distinct positive divisors, 1 & the number itself
Composite Numbers
Have more than 2 distinct positive divisors, making them divisible by numbers other than 1 &
themselves
Rational Numbers
All integers along with fractions & decimals that can be expressed as a quotient or fraction
Can be expressed as fractions/decimals that either terminate/repeat
Irrational numbers
Numbers that cannot be expressed as a fraction. Their decimal expansions are nonending and
nonrepeating.
Exponents (or power)
The number of times a base is multiplied by itself
Square of a number
when that number is multiplied by itself once
Cube of a number
When that number is multiplied by itself two times
Roots
Inverse operation of exponents, by which we find the original value that was repeatedly
multiplied
square root of a number
A value that, when multiplied by itself, gives the original number
cube root of a number
A value that, when multiplied by itself twice, results in the original number
Number Line
Visual representation of numbers in a straight line.
Absolute Value
,Represents the distance of a number from zero on the number line, regardless of direction.
Tells how far the # is from 0, doesn't matter whether the number is positive or negative
Absolute value of a number is always non-negative
Fractions
Allows us to express parts of a whole
denominator
Reveals how many equal parts make up the whole
Numerator
Lets you know how many parts of the whole you have
proper fraction
Type of fraction where the numerator is less than the denominator
improper fraction
type of fraction where the numerator is greater than the denominator
