Question
Answer
power   repeated multiplication of a number(factor) by itself, such as 2x2x2x2  
🗑
exponent   in a power, it is the number which represents how many times to use the base as a factor  
🗑
base   in a power, it is the number that gets multiplied by itself  
🗑
standard form   the way most numbers are written  
🗑
scientific notation   a shorthand way to write very large numbers  
🗑
numerical expression   an expression made up of numbers and operations  
🗑
order of operations   rules to be followed when simplifying a numerical expression  
🗑
prime number   a whole number greater than one that has exactly 2 factors, 1 and itself (example: 17)  
🗑
composite number   a whole number that has more than 2 factors (example: 6 has factors of 1, 2, 3, and 6)  
🗑
prime factorization   a composite number written as the product of its prime factors (example: 20 = 2 x 2 x 5)  
🗑
greatest common factor (GCF)   the greatest whole number that divides evenly into 2 or more whole numbers  
🗑
multiple   the product of a number and any whole number  
🗑
least common multiple   the least of the common multiples of two or more numbers  
🗑
variable   a letter that represents a number that can vary  
🗑
constant   a number that cannot change (example: 456)  
🗑
algebraic expression   an expression that contains one or more variables and often constants and operations  
🗑
evaluate an algebraic expression   substitute a number for the variable and simplify  
🗑
verbal expressions   words that can be translated into algebraic expressions  
🗑
term   a number, variable, or a product of numbers and variables (examples: 7 z 8y 12xy )  
🗑
coefficient   a number that is multiplied by a variable in an algebraic expression (example: 8 in 8x)  
🗑
like terms   terms with the same variable raised to the same power (example: 7x and 10x )  
🗑
equation   a mathematical statement that 2 expressions are equal in value (example: 7x+10=24)  
🗑
solution   the value of the variable that makes a statement(equation)true  
🗑
solve   to find the SOLUTION to an equation  
🗑
isolate the variable   get the variable ALONE on one side of the equation  
🗑
Addition Property of Equality   You can ADD the same amount to both sides of an equation and the statement will still be true  
🗑
inverse operations   operations which "undo" each other (example: addition and subtraction)  
🗑
Subtraction Property of Equality   You can SUBTRACT the same amount to both sides of an equation and the statement will still be true  
🗑
Multiplication Property of Equality   You can MULTIPLY both sides of an equation by the same amount and the statement will still be true  
🗑
Division Property of Equality   You can DIVIDE both sides of an equation by the same amount and the statement will still be true  
🗑
