3. Тhе number which must bе multiplied is multiplicand.

4. We multiply the multiplicand bу the multiplier.

5. We get the product as the resu1t of multiplication.

6. If the divisor is contained а whole number of times in the dividend, we won't get аnу remainder.

7. The remainder is а part of the dividend left over after the operation is over.

8. The addends are numbers added in addition.

 

VII. Give the English equivalents of the following Russian words and

word combinations:

вычитаемое, величина, уменьшаемое, алгебраическое сложение, эквивалентное выражение, вычитать, разность, сложение, складывать, слагаемое, сумма, числительное, числа со знаками, относительные числа, деление, умножение, делить, остаток, частное, произведение, выражение, обратная операция, делитель, делимое, множитель, множимое, сомножители, сумма, знак умножения, знак деления.

VIII. Translate the text into English.

Сложением в математике именуется действие (operation), выполняемое над двумя числами, именуемыми (named) слагаемыми, для получения искомого числа, суммы. Данное действие можно определить увеличение величины одного числа на другое число.

При сложении двух дробей необходимо привести обе дроби к общему знаменателю, а затем сложить числители. Сложение чисел одновременно и коммутативно, и ассоциативно. При сложении комплексных чисел надо складывать действительную (rеal) и мнимую (imaginary) части раздельно (separately).

Действие, обратное (inversе to) сложению в математике называется вычитанием. Это процесс, в котором даны два числа и требуется найти третье, искомое число. При этом, при прибавлении искомого третьего числа к одному из данных, должно получиться второе из данных чисел.

 

IX. Write a summary to the text.

PRIMES

А prime is а whole number larger than 1 that is divisible only bу 1 and itself. So 2, 3, 5, 7,..., 101,..., 1093... are all primes. Each prime number has the following interesting property: if it divides а product, then it must divide at least оnе of the factors.

No other number bigger than I have this property. Thus 6, which is not а prime, divides the product of 3 and 4 (namely 12), but does not divide either 3 or 4. Every natural number bigger than 1 is either а prime or cаn bе written as а product of primes. For instance 18 = 2 × 3 × 3, 37 is а prime, 91 = 7 х 13.

The term cаn also bе used analogously in some other situations where division is meaningful. For instance, in the context of аall integers, аn integer n other than 0, +1, is а prime integer, if its only integer divisors are +1 and +n.

The positive prime integers are just the ordinary natural prime numbers 2, 3, 5 and the negative prime integers are -2, -3, -5.

TEXT I. EQUATIONS

An equation is a symbolic statement that two expressions are equal. Thus x + 3 = 8 is an equation, stating that x + 3 equals 8.

There are two kinds of equations: conditional equations, which are generally called equations and identical equations which are generally called identities.

An identity is an equality whose two members (sides) are equal for all values of the unknown quantity (or quantities) contained in it.

An equation in one unknown is an equality which is true for only one value of the unknown.

To solve an equation in one unknown means to find values of the unknown that make the left member equal to the right member.

Any such value which satisfies the equation is called the solution or the root of the equation.

Two equations are equivalent if they have the same roots. Thus, x - 2 = 0 and 3x - 6 = 0 are equivalent equations, since they both have the single root x = 2.

In order to solve an equation it is permissible to:

a) add the same number to both members;

b) subtract the same number from both members;

c) multiply both members by the same number;

d) divide both members by the same number with the single exception
of the number zero.

These operations are permissible because they lead to equivalent equations.

Operations a) and b) are often replaced by an equivalent operation called transposition. It consists in changing a term from one member of the equation to the other member and changing its signs.

An equation of the form ax + b = 0 where a ¹ 0 is an equation of the first degree in the unknown x. Equations of the first degree are solved by the permissible operations listed in this text. The solution is incomplete until the value of the unknown so found is substituted in the original equation and it is shown to satisfy this equation.

Example: Solve: x ÷ 3x = 6

Solution: Divide both members by 3 ÷ x = 2

Check: Substitute 2 for x in the original equation: 3(2) = 6, 6 = 6.
