Long division of polynomials
Write the dividend and divisor in descending powers of the variable. Insert place holders with zero coefficients for missing powers of the variable. Perform the long division of the polynomials as you would with integers. Continue the process until the degree of the remainder is less than the degree of the divisor.
Linear inequality in two variables
An inequality that can be written in one of the standard forms: $ax + by < c,{\rm{ }}ax + by > c,{\rm{ }}ax + by \le c,{\rm{ }}ax + by \ge c.$
Linear inequality in one variable
An inequality that can be written in one of the following standard forms: $ax < b,\;ax > b,\;ax \le b,\;ax \ge b$.
Linear equation in two variables
Linear equation in one variable
An equation that can be written in the standard form $ax + b = 0$.
Like terms
Two terms are both constant terms or if they have the same variable factor(s).
Less than
When comparing any two real numbers on the real number line, if $a$ is to the left of $b$, then $a$ is less than $b$, which is written as $a < b$.
Least common multiple
The smallest of the common multiples of two or more nonzero whole numbers.
Least common denominator
The least common multiple of the denominators of two or more fractions.
