Scene 1 (0s)

[Audio] Multivariate – an adjective describing any problem that uses more than one variable. Oblique Cylinder – cylinder with bases that are not aligned one directly above the other. Obtuse Angle – an angle measuring between 90 degrees and 180 degrees..

Scene 2 (21s)

[Audio] Odds – the ratio/likelihood of a probability event happening. The odds of flipping a coin and having it land on heads are one in two. Parallel Postulate – the assumption that, given a point P and a line m not through P, there is exactly one line passing through P that is parallel to m. Parallelogram – a quadrilateral with two sets of opposite sides that are parallel..

Scene 3 (47s)

[Audio] Parentheses – the symbols (and). Singular: parenthesis. Piecewise Function – a function that uses different formulas for different parts of its domain. Polyhedron – a solid with no curved surfaces or edges Prolate Spheroid – a stretched sphere shaped like a watermelon Qualitative – properties that must be described using qualities rather than numbers..

Scene 4 (1m 14s)

[Audio] Quintic – polynomial having a degree of 5. Quintiles – the 20th and 80th percentiles of a set of data. Remainder – the number left over when a quantity cannot be divided evenly. A remainder can be expressed as an integer, fraction, or decimal. Rhombus – a parallelogram with four sides of equal length and no right angles..

Scene 5 (1m 38s)

[Audio] Scalar – any real number, or any quantity that can be measured using a single real number. Scalene Triangle – a triangle with three unequal sides.

Scene 6 (2m 3s)

[Audio] Tenths - the first place to the right of the decimal. This is equivalent to the value out of 10. For example, 0.2 is read as two tenths and is the same as 2/10 Tessellation – congruent plane figures/shapes that cover a plane completely without overlapping. Triangulation – method of locating the position of an object by observing the direction and/or distance to the object from two or more observation points..

Scene 7 (2m 33s)

[Audio] Trichotomy – the property of real numbers which guarantees that for any two real numbers a and b, exactly one of the following must be true: a b. Varignon Parallelogram of a Quadrilateral – the parallelogram formed by connecting the midpoints of adjacent sides of a quadrilateral. Washer Method – technique for finding the volume of a solid of revolution. z-intercept – point at which a graph intersects the z-axis..
