Math Made easy has compiled a list of common terms used in the study of Algebra, this is the second half

Need help with algebra? You are not alone! Algebra is one of the
most difficult subjects for many students, even those who are normally
high achievers. But here's some good news: once a student becomes
familiar with the special "language" of algebra, it can become one of
the easiest, and even most enjoyable, things for them to do!

Algebra is based on a special kind of logic--once it clicks in
students' heads, it becomes easy to apply to any type of problem. The
trouble is, some students learn best at different paces, and in
different environments, than others. For many, a 45-minute classroom
session, surrounded by the distractions of their peers, is simply not
the ideal way to learn.

Even if students pay close attention in class, they are liable to
miss a lesson or a portion of a lesson for any number of reasons. And
since math works like a chain, with one concept leading to the next, a
"missed link" causes subsequent material to stop making sense. With
Math Made Easy's innovative program of DVDs, students no longer feel
embarrassed when they need to have a concept repeated to them. They
simply rewind the disc to hear the information explained again!

Our sister site, TutorialChannel.com, is the perfect companion to
our DVDs, allowing users to download free practice tests, chart their
progress, receive live help from online tutors, and watch streaming
videos of algebra lessons. Our system guides students step-by-step
through each concept, targeting weak areas while building overall
comprehension. With all these tools at their disposal, even students
currently receiving very poor or failing grades in algebra can earn As
and Bs. Call 1-888-MATH-HELP, and receive your free consultation today!
    
Feel free to read the second part of our list and see how manyu terms you are familiar with!


combined variation:  If a variable varies directly as one variable and inversely as another, the resulting relationship is a combined variation (expressed by zy=kx, k a nonzero constant).

common factor: A factor of two or more integers is called a common factor of the integers.

complementary angles: Two angles are complementary if the sum of their measures is 90 degrees. Each angle is a complement of the other.

completing the square: A method of transforming a quadratic equation so that it is in the form perfect square = k�  (k is greater than or equal to 0).

complex fraction:  A fraction whose numerator or demonimator contains one or more fractions.

conjugates:  If b and d are both nonnegative, then the binomials a square roots of b + c square roots of b -- c square roots of d are conjugates of each other.

conjunction:  A sentence formed by joining two open sentences by the word and.

consecutive even integers:  Integers obtained by counting by twos, beginning with any even integer.

consecutive integers:  Numbers obtained by counting by ones from any number in the set of integers.

consecutive odd intergers:  Intergers obtained by counting by twos, beginning with any odd integer.

constant (monomial):  A monomial consisting of a numeral only; a term with no variable factor.

constant of variation:  The nonzero constant k in a direct variation defined by y=kx or in an inverse variation defined by xy=k. Also called constant of proportionality.

converse:  The converse of a statement in �if-then� form is obtained by interchanging the �if � and �then� parts of the statement.

coordinate axes:  The x - and y - axes in the coordinate plane.

coordinate plane: A plane in whicch an ordered pair can be located by reference to two intersecting number lines.

coordinate of a point:  The number paired with that point on a number line.

coordinates of a point:  The abscissa and ordinate of the point, written as an ordered pair of numbers.

cosine: The cosine of an acute angle A in a right triangle = (length of leg adjacent to angle A) / ( length of hypotenuse).

cubic equation:  A polynomial equation with a term of degree 3 as its term of highest degee.
