Warm Up
- Define like terms in your own words.
Like terms are terms with the same base raised to the same power.
- Explain the difference between whole numbers and integers.
Whole numbers are the set {0, 1, 2, …}. Integers are {…, –2, –1, 0, 1, 2, …}
Note
You know from Algebra 1: Principles of Secondary Mathematics that whole numbers (𝕎) and integers (ℤ) are both part of the set of Real Numbers (ℝ).
