| what is a factor | any number that can be divided evenly into another number |
| what is the order of operations | parenthatseees exponents multiply divide add subtract |
| what is an exponet | a method of writing repetitive multiplication. how many times to multiply a number by itself. |
| -3^2 means... | -3 to the 2nd power |
| what is a prime number | a number that can only be divided by 1 and itself |
| what is a composite number | a number that can be divided by more than 1 and itself |
| what is the GFC | the greatest number divisible that divides into another number |
| what is a variable GFC | ex : x^2 |
| what is prime factorizaton | the break down of composite numbers into smaller numbers |
| how do you find prime factorization using the GFC | prime trees |
| what is the difference between -3^2 and (-3)^2 | -3^2 = -6 (-3)^2 = 6 |
| what is the base | the base is the number you are multiplying by |
| what is the power | the power is the number of times you are multiplying the base |
| anything to the power of 0 is ... | 1 |

| rational number | any number that can be written in the form of a/b where b is not 0 |
| how to write negative rational numbers | the bottom number can not be negative |
| power to the power rule | multiply the power |
| the zero exponent rule | any exponent that is zero the answer is 1 |
| the negative exponent rule | find the reciprocal |
| example of writing without zero or negative exponents | bring the negatives to the opposite side of the fraction bar and make them positive and the zeros become ones and are not in the final answer |
| example of writing without a fraction bar | bring the numbers from the bottom to the top and rewrite them as their reciprocal |
