Trigonometry
A branch of mathematics that addresses the measurements and relationships of a triangle and its parts. The parts of a triangle include its angles and sides.
Calculus
A branch of mathematics that measures changes in one quantity in relation to another. Calculus is used for functions involving curves.
Algebra
A branch of mathematics that uses known quantities to find unknown quantities. In algebra, letters, such as x and y, are sometimes used in place of unknown numbers.
Number Line
A line on which numbers are marked at intervals. On a number line, smaller numbers are placed to the left, with larger numbers placed to the right.
Operations
A mathematical action or process such as addition or subtraction. A mathematical equation consists of a series of operations.
Fraction
A mathematical expression with two numbers placed above and below a division. This expression indicates the number of divisions or portions and the size of each division or portion.
Division
A mathematical operation that indicates how many equal quantities add up to a specific number. 8 ÷ 4 = 2 is an example of division.
Multiplication
A mathematical operation that indicates how many times a number is added to itself. 2 x 4 = 8 is an example of multiplication.
Subtraction
A mathematical operation that takes away a quantity from a larger whole. 4 - 2 = 2 is an example of subtraction.
Addition
A mathematical operation that unites two separate quantities into one sum. 2 + 2 = 4 is an example of addition.
Whole Numbers
A number that is equal to or greater than 0 with no fractions or decimals. 1, 2, 3, 4, and so on are all examples of whole numbers.
Root
A number that, when multiplied by itself a specified number of times, results in a given number. For example, the square root of 64 is 8.
Square Root
A number that, when multiplied by itself, results in a given number. For example, the square root of 64 is 8.
Cubed
A number with an exponent of three. An exponent of three indicates the number should be multiplied by itself three times.
Squared
A number with an exponent of two. An exponent of two indicates the number should be multiplied by itself.
Integers
A whole number or its negative equivalent. The numbers -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, and 3 are all integers.
Manufacturing workers use math during which of the following activities?
Comparing parts to prints
After adding 5 and 7, what is the next step for solving this math problem? [(5 + 7) ÷ 6 - 4] × 3
Divide 12 by 6.
Which statement is true about the subject of math? In most companies:
Every employee in the production environment should know the basics of math.
Which of the following statements about integers is true?
If a negative number is added to its matching positive number, the result is zero.
Negative
Numbers less than zero that represent a reduction or absence of a quantity. -1, -2, and -3 are all examples of negative numbers.
Exponents
Numbers that indicate how many times a given number is multiplied by itself. Exponents are also known as powers.
Powers
Numbers that indicate how many times a given number is multiplied by itself. Powers are also known as exponents.
Which operations should be performed first when solving a math problem?
Powers and roots
Which of the following lists the correct order of mathematical operations?
Powers and roots, multiplication and division, addition and subtraction
Which is a true statement about integers?
Subtracting a number is the same as adding a matching negative number.
Arithmetic
The branch of mathematics that involves basic operations. These operations include addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
Geometry
The branch of mathematics that involves the measurements, properties, and relationships of all shapes and sizes of things. Geometry topics include lines and angles, circles, and triangles.
Blueprint
The instructions and drawings that are used to manufacture a part. Using blueprints effectively requires a good understanding of math.
Zero
The integer indicating the absence of a quantity or amount. On a number line, zero indicates the point where negative numbers change into positive numbers.
Order Of Operations
The mathematical rules that determine the correct order for solving any sequence of math operations. Solve powers and roots first, then multiplication and division, and finally addition and subtraction.
Mathematics
The study of numbers and quantities and their relationships. Mathematics requires an understanding of the logic and rules used to solve numerical problems.
