Chord

A BALNK of a circle is a line segment joining any two points on the circle

Tangent

A line which touches a circle or ellipse at just one point

Exponents

A number placed at the right of and above a symbol. The number indicates how many times this symbol is used as a factor; e.g., in x^3, 3 is the BLANK indicating that x is used as a factor three times. x^3 = (x)(x)(x)

Trinomial

A polynomial of three terms; e.g., x^2 - 3x + 5

Association

A special grouping of numbers to make computation easier; e.g., 245 × (5 × 2) = 245 × 10 = 2,450 instead of (245 × 5) × 2 = 1,225 × 2 = 2,450

Unit

A standard of measurement such as inches, feet, dollars, etc

Equation

A statement of equality between two expressions; e.g., 3 + x = 8. The left-hand member 3 + x is equivalent to the right-hand member 8

Constant

A symbol representing a single number during a particular discussion; e.g., x2 + x + 5 has +5 as the BLANK that does not vary in value

Variable

A symbol representing any one of a given set of numbers. Most common are x and y

ACT stands for __________________

American College Testing

Binomial

An algebraic expression consisting of two terms: 3x + 5y is a BLANK

Coordinates

Are a set of values that show an exact position. On maps and graphs it is common to have a pair of numbers to show where a point is: the first number shows the distance along and the second number shows the distance up or down. Example: the point (12,5) is 12 units along, and 5 units up

Expression

BLANK that represent the same value for any variable involved; e.g., 3x + 3y and 3(x + y)

To meet the challenge's of ACT Prep Math successfully, students need which of the following?

Dedication, Motivation, Determination, and Self-Discipline

The ACT measures specific cognitive and analytic skills that is developed over a period of time; therefore, you will be reviewing concepts in

Elementary Algebra Pre-Algebra Trigonometry Intermediate Algebra Coordinate Geometry Plane Geometry

Order of Operations

In performing a series of BLAMK (PEMDAS), multiplication and division are performed before addition and subtraction. In order from left to right

Average

The BLANK of a group of numbers is found by adding all the quantities being averaged and then dividing by the number of quantities being averaged; e.g., 60, 70, 80, and 90.

Cosine

The BLANK of an acute angle of a triangle is the ratio of the length of the side adjacent to the angle of the hypotenuse

Additive Inverse

The additive inverse of a number a is the number -a for which a + (-a) = 0. You can think of the additive inverse of a number as its opposite; e.g., the additive inverse of -5 is +5 because (-5) + (+5) = 0

Domain

The defined set of values the independent variable is assigned; e.g., in y = x + 5, x is the independent variable. If x = {0, 1} is the BLANK, then y = {5, 6}

Commutative Law of Multiplication

The order of the numbers does not affect the product; e.g., ab = ba (6)(8) = (8)(6) 48 = 48

Commutative Law of Addition

The order of the numbers does not affect the sum; e.g., a + b = b + a 8 + 3 = 3 + 8 11 =11

Trisect

The process of separating into three equal parts

Cosecant

The ratio of the hypotenuse (in a right-angled triangle) to the side opposite an acute angle; the reciprocal of sine

Secant

The ratio of the hypotenuse to the shorter side adjacent to an acute angle (in a right-angled triangle); the reciprocal of a cosine

Range

The set of values the function (y) takes on; e.g., y = x + 5; if the domain of x = 0, 1, then the BLANK of y is 5, 6

Sine

The trigonometric function that is equal to the ratio of the side opposite a given angle (in a right triangle) to the hypotenuse

Associative Law of Multiplication

The way numbers are grouped does not affect the product; e.g., a(bc) = (ab)c 3(4 ×5) = (3 × 4)5 3(20) = (12)5 60 = 60

Associative Law of Addition

The way numbers are grouped does not affect the sum; e.g., a + (b + c) = (a + b) + c 5 + (6 + 3) = (5 + 6) + 3 5 + 9 =11 + 3 14 =14

Tripled

Three times a quantity; e.g., x BLANK = 3x
