General Language Definitions vs. Math Language Definitions
Relearning words we know in a different way. Math is a new language that can be really fun to learn and unlock many doors for you!
Domain
Range
Prime
Rational
General Meaning Cognitive ability or process that can be applied across a wide range of different tasks and situations, rather than being limited to a specific subject or skill.
General Meaning Being of the highest quality, value, or importance.
General MeaningThe scope or extent between two limits, such as a price range or a temperature range
General Meaning Being based on logic, reason, and sound judgment, as opposed to emotion
Radical
General Meaning
Fundamental, basic, or extreme, excellent or impressive.
Connection: "Prime numbers are higher quality group, only allowing the numbers one and itself join."
Math Meaning In statistics, it is the difference between the highest and lowest values in a dataset, and in functions, it is the set of all possible output (y) values.
y =f(x)
(x, y)
Connection: "The vertical scope of temperatures on a thermometer = y-axis"
Math Meaning "Rational" refers to a number that can be expressed as a simple fraction, or ratio of two integers, where the denominator is not zero.
Connection: "It is logical that you can't divide something you have between zero people"
Math Meaning "Prime" most commonly refers to a prime number, which is a positive integer greater than 1 that has only two distinct factors: 1 and itself.
Math Meaning Domain is the set of all possible input (x) values for a function
y = f(x), (x, y)
Connection: "X can be applied to get a wide range values (y)"
Math Meaning
Radical symbol that denotes a root of a number, such as a square root or cube root.Connection: "Radical numbers are fundamental and impressive"
Connection: "Complex numbers are real and imaginary numbers interconnected. Don't worry, they aren't complicated."
Function
Connection: Both the input and output have important roles in a function"
Math Meaning
"Complex" refers to numbers that have both a real and an imaginary part.
General Meaning The purpose or role that something has.
Complex
Math Meaning The relationship between inputs and outputs. y = 3x + 2 & y = mx + b
General Meaning Composed of many interconnected parts, complicated or intricate, or a psychological issue.
