In Algebra a term is either a single number or variable, or numbers and variables multiplied together. Terms are separated by + or − signs.

sequence

In mathematics, a sequence is an enumerated collection of objects in which repetitions are allowed. Like a set, it contains members (also called elements, or terms). The number of elements (possibly infinite) is called the length of the sequence.

linear function

A linear function is any function that graphs to a straight line. What this means mathematically is that the function has either one or two variables with no exponents or powers. If the function has more variables, the variables must be constants or known variables for the function to remain alinear function.

inequality

There are other special symbols that show in what way things are not equal. a < b says that a is less than b. a > b says that a is greater than b. (those two are known as strict inequality) a ≤ b means that a is less than or equal to b.

independent variable

Independent variable definition. An independent variable is a variable that represents a quantity that is being manipulated in an experiment. A dependent variable represents a quantity whose value depends on those manipulations.
