QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS | A+
GRADED | WITH EXPERT SOLUTIONS
Discrete data - correct answer-Has distinct values, can be
counted, had unconnected points (think dots)
Continuous data - correct answer-Has values within a range,
measured not counted, does not have gaps between data points
(data is connected lines or curves).
Example of discrete data - correct answer-Days of the week
Expressions - correct answer-A group of symbols such as
numbers and operators that has mathematical validity
, Page | 2
Commutative - correct answer-The order in which the numbers
appear in the sum can be reversed
Identity property - correct answer-Adding 0 to any number does
not change the original number
Additive inverse - correct answer-Values that are equally far from
0 on the number line.
Negative - correct answer-When multiplying a positive number by
a negative number the result is always
Positive - correct answer-Multiplying a negative number by a
negative number results in a positive
Factors - correct answer-Integers that evenly divide the initial
integer
, Page | 3
Prime number - correct answer-Positive integer with exactly two
positive factors consisting of 1 and itself
Composite number - correct answer-Has at least one positive
factor other than one and itself
Factorization - correct answer-Process of breaking up a
composite number into its prime factors
fundamental theorem of arithmetic - correct answer-Any integer
greater than one is either Prime or the product of Prime numbers
Principal square root - correct answer-Positive square root of a
number
Radican - correct answer-Number under radical sign √16=4
Open Circle - correct answer-Represents less than or greatest
than on the number line
