Sure! Here are the definitions of the terms you've requested:
-
Solution Set: The solution set is the collection of all possible values that satisfy a given equation or inequality. It represents the set of solutions that make the equation or inequality true.
-
Expression: An expression is a mathematical phrase that can include numbers, variables, operators (such as +, −, ×, and ÷), and function symbols. Unlike an equation, an expression does not contain an equality sign. It represents a value but does not assert that two expressions are equal.
-
Inequality: An inequality is a mathematical statement that compares two expressions and shows that one is greater than, less than, or not equal to the other. Common inequality symbols include > (greater than), < (less than), ≥ (greater than or equal to), and ≤ (less than or equal to).
-
Equation: An equation is a mathematical statement that asserts the equality of two expressions. It contains an equals sign (=) and indicates that the expressions on both sides have the same value. It can be true for some values of the variable(s) and false for others.
-
Inverse Operations: Inverse operations are pairs of mathematical operations that reverse the effect of each other. For example, addition and subtraction are inverse operations; if you add a number and then subtract the same number, you return to the original value. Similarly, multiplication and division are also inverse operations.
