Terms
Acute Angle
-
An angle with a measure of less than 90 degrees.
Addition Properties of Inequality
-
If a < b, then a + c < b + c If a > b, then a + c > b + c
Greater Than
-
a > b if and only if there is a positive number c such that a - c = b.
Inequality
-
A statement that shows the relationship between two (or more)
expressions with one of the following five signs: <, ≤, >,
≥, ≠.
Inequality Properties of Opposites
-
If a > 0, then - a < 0 If a < 0, then - a > 0
Less Than
-
a < b if and only if there is a positive number c such that a + c = b.
Multiplication and Division Properties of Inequality
-
For positive numbers: If a < b and c > 0, then ac < bc and ![]() ![]() If a > b and c > 0, then ac > bc and ![]() ![]() For negative numbers: If a < b and c < 0, then ac > bc and ![]() ![]() If a > b and c < 0, then ac < bc and ![]() ![]()
Obtuse Angle
-
An angle with a measure greater than 90 degrees, but not more than 180 degrees.
Property of Squares of Real Numbers
-
a2≥ 0 for all real numbers a.
Right Angle
-
An angle with a measure of exactly 90 degrees.
Subtraction Properties of Inequality
-
If a < b, then a - c < b - c If a > b, then a - c > b - c
Transitive Properties of Inequality
-
If a < b and b < c, then a < c. If a > b and b > c, then a > c.
Trichotomy Property
-
For any two real numbers a and b, exactly one of the following is
true: a < b, a = b, a > b.
