Grade 8 Genesis

1. Quadrants – Divide the cartesian plane into four areas

2. Origin - The intersection of the x- and y-axis with coordinates (0,0)
3. X-axis – the horizontal axis
4. Y-axis – the vertical axis
5. Polynomial – is a kind of algebraic expression where each term is a constant, a
variable, or a product
6. Minomial – A polynomial with only one term
7. Binomial – a polynomial with two terms
8. Trinomial – a polynomial with three terms
9. Factors – algrebraic expressions that are to be multiplied in a multiplication
sentence
10. Factoring – the reverse process of multiplication
11. Common Monomial Factor – it is the identifying the common factor of each
term, which is the Greatest Common Factor
12. Division of Rational Algebraic Expressions – it is done by finding the product of
the dividend and the reciprocal of the divisor
13. Multiplication of rational algebraic expressions – Multiply the numerator by the
numerator and the denominator by the denominator
14. Domain – is the set of all real numbers that can replace the variable except for
the values that would make the denominator equal to zero
15. Evaluation of rational algrebraic expressions – replacing or substituting the
variable with a numerical value.
16. Standard form – where A,B and C are real numbers and with no common factors
other than 1, the formula for this is Ax + By = C
17. Slope intercept form – where y is a non-negative, having a straight line as its
graph with m as the slope with y-intercept at (0,b)
18. Ordered pair (x,y) – represents the points in the rectangular coordinate system
19. Abscissa – the first coordinate of an ordered pair, also called as x-coordinate
20. Ordinate – the second coordinate of an ordered pair, also called as y-coordinate
21. Rectangular Coordinate System – also called coordinate plane, or the cartesian
plane (named after its french mathematician developer René Descartes.) where
 points are located with the help of two intersecting perpendicular number lines
called axes
22. Slope – the ratio of the change in y-coordinate (rise) to the ratio in the x-
coordinates (run) it is determined by the two points as you moved from one
point to another
23. Linear equation In two variables – An equation with a degree of 1 that forms a
straight line when it solutions are plotted on a rectangular coordinate system.
24. Intercept of the line – when one of the coordinates of an ordered pair is zero (0),
the line intersects the axis
25. X-intercept – when the y-coordinate of an ordered pair is zero, it will be on the x-
axis wherer the line intersects the x-axis
26. Y-intercept – the line intersects the x-axis when the y-coordinate of the point is
zero (0)
27. System in linear equations in two variables – the solution to a system to a system
of linear equations In the variables is an ordered pair (x,y) that satisfies all
equations in the system
28. Consistent system – if the lines of the given system of linear equations are
intersecting. Has only one or unique solution
29. Inconsistent system – if the lines of the given system of linear equations are
parallel. Has no solution since the lines have no intersection
30. Dependent – if the lines are overlapping or coinciding or only one line
represents both equations. Has infinitely many solutions
31. Matrix – is used to solve systems of linear equations with n number of variables.
32. Sum or difference of two cubes – factored into a product of a binomial times in a
trinomial
33. Perfect square trinomial – a trinomial that results from squaring a binomial
34. General trinomial – a polynomial consisting of three terms or monomials
35. Linear equations in two variables – is a mathematical statement showing that the
two expressions are equal
36. Solution set – the set that contains all the solutions of the inequality
37. Quadrants – are named using roman numerals and identified from the upper
right and then the counterclockwise
38. Addition and subtraction of rational algebraic expressions with similar
denominators – add or subtract the numerators, while the denominator is the
same as the given expressions
39. Addition and subtraction of rational algebraic expressions with dissimilar
denominators – when rational expressions have dissimilar denominators, like
fractions, the LCD or Least Common Denominator will be used to rewrite the
rational expressions to be of a similar denominator
40. Difference of two squares – a squared (Multiplied by itself) number subtracted
from another squared number.
