Equation (p. 53) A mathematical sentence that uses an Ecuacion (p. 53) Enunciado matematico que tiene el signo
equal sign. de igual.
Example x + 5 = 3x - 7
Equivalent equations (p. 81) Equations that have the
same solution.
Ecuaciones equivalentes (p. 81) Ecuaciones que tienen la
misma solucion.
Example | = 3 and | + a = 3 + a are
equivalent equations.
Equivalent expressions (p. 23) Algebraic expressions that
have the same value for all values of the variable(s).
Expresiones equivalentes (p. 23) Expresiones algebraicas
que tienen el mismo valor para todos los valores de la(s)
variable(s).
Example 3a + 2a and 5a are equivalent
expressions.
Equivalent inequalities (p. 171) Inequalities that have the
same set of solutions.
Desigualdades equivalentes (p. 171) Las desigualdades
equivalentes tienen el mismo conjunto de soluciones.
Example x + 4 < 7 and x < 3 are
equivalent inequalities.
Evaluate (p. 12) To substitute a given number for each
variable, and then simplify.
Evaluar (p. 12) Metodo de sustituir cada variable por un
numero dado para luego simplificar la expresion.
Example To evaluate 3x + 4 for x = 2,
substitute 2 for x and simplify.
3(2) + 4 =^6 + 4= 10
Event (p. 769) Any group of outcomes in a situation
involving probability.
Example When rolling a number cube, there
are six possible outcomes. Rolling an
even number is an event with three
possible outcomes, 2, 4, and 6.
Suceso (p. 769) En la probabilidad, cualquier grupo de
resultados.
Excluded value (p. 664) A value of x for which a rational
expression f(x) is undefined.
Valor exduido (p. 664) Valor de x para el cual una
expresion racional es indefinida.
Experimental probability (p. 771) The ratio of the
number of times an event actually happens to the number
of times the experiment is done.
P(event) = number of times an event happens
Probabilidad experim ental (p. 771) La razon entre el
numero de veces que un suceso sucede en la realidad y el
numero de veces que se hace el experimento.
n u m er o d e v eces q u e su ced e un su ceso
number of times the experiment is done P{ s uc e s o) = numero de veces que se hace el experimento
Example A baseball player's batting average
shows how likely it is that a player
will get a hit, based on previous
times at bat.
