table |
|
|---|---|
| The tables used in this course represent numerical information by organizing it into columns and rows. The numbers may come from a graph, situation (pattern), or rule (equation). Many of the tables in this course are x-y tables like the one shown below.

|
term |
|
| A term is a single number, variable, or the product of numbers and variables. In an expression, terms are separated by addition or subtraction signs. For example, in the expression 1.2x − 45 + 3xy², the terms are 1.2x, − 45, and 3xy². | |

| See “pattern.” | |
Transitive Property of Equality |
|
| The Transitive Property of Equality states that if a = b and b = c, then a = c. For example, if x = 2y and 2y = 13, then x must equal 13. | |
trend line |
|
A line that represents a set of data. The trend line does not necessarily intersect each data point; it attempts to approximate the data, as in the example below. Trend lines are often used to make predictions about future, unobserved data points.  |
|
trinomial |
|
| A polynomial that is the sum or difference of exactly three terms, each of which is a monomial. For example, x² + 6x + 9 is a trinomial. | |
twice |
|
| Two times as much. For example, a twenty-dollar bill has twice the value of a ten-dollar bill. |
