of an algebraic expression involving only + or - operations. For
example,
Trinomial
A mathematical
expression consisting of only three terms.
Theorem

previous theorems.
Transcendental
number
A number that
is real but not algebraic, that is not a root of any polynomial
equation with rational coefficients. Some commonly used transcendental
numbers are  .
Transitive
A
relation R it is said transitive if aR & bRc then aRc
(a is related to b and b is related to c then a is related to c).
For example:
The equality
is transive, since for all real numbers a, b, & c, if a = b,
and b = c, then a = c.
The
< relation is transitive, since for all real numbers a, b, &
c, if a < b, and b < c, then a < c
Transversal
A line intersecting
two or more other lines.
Triangle
A polygon of
three sides. Special triangles are the equilateral, the isosceles
and the right triangle.
