However, in a broader sense, we can think about the concept of "math verbs" as actions performed on numbers or variables:
* Operations: These are the most common "verbs" in mathematics:
* Addition (+): "Add 5 to 3."
* Subtraction (-): "Subtract 2 from 7."
* Multiplication (× or *): "Multiply 4 by 6."
* Division (÷ or /): "Divide 10 by 2."
* Exponentiation (^): "Square 5." (meaning 5 raised to the power of 2)
* Modulus (%): "Find the remainder when 13 is divided by 5."
* Comparisons: These actions relate two values:
* Equals (=): "5 is equal to 5."
* Greater than (>): "7 is greater than 3."
* Less than (<): "2 is less than 8."
* Greater than or equal to (≥): "10 is greater than or equal to 10."
* Less than or equal to (≤): "4 is less than or equal to 4."
* Functions: These are more complex actions that take inputs and produce outputs:
* Square root (√): "Find the square root of 16."
* Logarithm (log): "Find the logarithm of 100 to base 10."
* Trigonometric functions (sin, cos, tan, etc.): "Find the sine of 30 degrees."
So, while "math verb" isn't a formal term, we can think of the actions we perform in mathematics as "verbs" that describe how we manipulate numbers and variables.
