English explanation | Nederlandse verklaring | |
add | optellen | |
cartesian plane | platte vlak | |
common | gemeenschappelijke | |
conjugate | geconjugeerde/samengevoegd | |
denominator | The lower part of a fraction | noemer |
domain | The set of input values for which the function is defined | domein |
fraction | breuk | |
factor | ontbinden in factoren | |
greatest common divisor | For example: the greatest common divisor of 4 and 6 is equal to 2. The greatest common divisor of and is equal to | grootste gemeenschappelijke deler |
intersection of sets | Notation: ∩. Everything that is in both sets | de 'doorsnede' van verzamelingen |
intersection interval | overlappend domein | |
least common multiple | For example: the least common multiple of 4 and 6 is equal to 12. The least common multiple of and is equal to | kleinste gemeenschappelijke veelvoud |
logc | Another notation for clog. For example: log2 8 = 2log 8 = 3, since 23 = 8 | |
numerator | The upper part of a fraction | teller |
perpendicular |
| loodrecht |
property | eigenschap | |
quadrant | A quarter of a circle, for example: between 0 and 0.5π is the first quadrant | kwart van een cirkel, dus bijvoorbeeld van 0 tot 0.5π is het eerste kwadrant |
radical | nth root. . | nde wortel |
range | The set of all output values produced by a function | bereik |
rational number | Number that can be made by dividing two integers. m/n | |
rational expression | een formule/functie met een breuk er in | |
rationalize the denominator | Rewrite the fraction without a radical or root in the denominator. | herschrijf de breuk zodanig dat er geen wortelteken meer in de noemer staat |
real number | Element of the set ℝ. | reëel getal |
root/(square-root) | For example: x = 2 is a root of f(x) = x² + x - 6 since f(2) = 0 | wortel, oplossing |
simplified radical form | For example: the simplified radical form of √45 is equal to 3√5 . | |
slope | The slope or gradient of a line describes its steepness, incline, or grade. It is defined as the ratio of the altitude change to the horizontal distance between any two points on the line | helling, richtings-coëfficient |
solve for z | Rewrite the given expression, such that it start with. For example: solved for is equal to. Please note that it might also refer to specific values. In that case you have to find the roots | nulpunten |
substract | aftrekken | |
union interval |
| totale domein |
union of sets | Notation: U. Everything that is in one of both sets | de 'vereniging' van verzamelingen |
vertex of a parabola | top (of dal) van een parabool | |
write as exponential expression | For example: √x can be written as x^(½) | |
x-intercept | The x-intercept of a line or a graph is where the line touches (intercepts) the x-axis | snijpunt met de x-as |
y-intercept | The y-intercept of a line or a graph is where the line touches (intercepts) the y-axis | snijpunt met de y-as |
zeros | For example: x = 2 is a root of f(x) = x² + x -6 since f(2) = 0 | nulpunt, oplossing |
