Answer & Step-by-step explanation:
<u>definition of coordinate pair</u>
A system and method is provided for converting an input signal from a sequence of rectangular coordinate pairs to a sequence of polar coordinate pairs.
<u>solving by graphing</u>
A system of linear equations contains two or more equations e.g. y=0.5x+2 and y=x-2. The solution of such a system is the ordered pair that is a solution to both equations. To solve a system of linear equations graphically we graph both equations in the same coordinate system
<u>solving by substitution</u>
The method of solving "by substitution" works by solving one of the equations (you choose which one) for one of the variables (you choose which one), and then plugging this back into the other equation, "substituting" for the chosen variable and solving for the other.
<u>solving by elimination</u>
The elimination method of solving systems of equations is also called the addition method. To solve a system of equations by elimination we transform the system such that one variable "cancels out". ... In order to solve for y, take the value for x and substitute it back into either one of the original equations.
<u>slope-intercept form</u>
the equation of a straight line in the form y = mx + b where m is the slope of the line and b is its y-intercept
<u>standard form</u>
Standard form is a way of writing down very large or very small numbers easily. 103 = 1000, so 4 × 103 = 4000 . So 4000 can be written as 4 × 10³ . This idea can be used to write even larger numbers down easily in standard form.
Small numbers can also be written in standard form. However, instead of the index being positive (in the above example, the index was 3), it will be negative. The rules when writing a number in standard form is that first you write down a number between 1 and 10, then you write × 10(to the power of a number)
<u>term</u>
In Algebra a term is either a single number or variable, or numbers and variables multiplied together.
Terms are separated by + or − signs, or sometimes by divide.
<u>constant</u>
A fixed value.
In Algebra, a constant is a number on its own, or sometimes a letter such as a, b or c to stand for a fixed number.
<u>variables</u>
A symbol for a value we don't know yet. It is usually a letter like x or y.
Example: in x + 2 = 6, x is the variable.
Why "variable" when it may have just one value? In the case of x + 2 = 6 we can solve it to find that x = 4. But in something like y = x + 2 (a linear equation) x can have many values. In general it is much easier to always call it a variable even though in some cases it is a single value.
<u>multiplicative combination</u>
Any of the ways we can combine things, when the order does not matter.
Example: For a fruit salad, how many different combinations of 2 ingredients can you make with apple, banana and cherry?
Answer: {apple, banana}, {apple, cherry} or {banana, cherry}
When the order does matter, such as a secret code, it is a Permutation.
