exponent | a quantity representing the power to which a given number or expression is to be raised |
order of operations (for exponents) | 1. simplify expressions inside parentheses. 2. evaluate all powers. 3. perform multiplication and division in order from left to right. 4. perform addition and subtraction in order from left to right. |
power (math) | how the exponent is described verbally |
monomial | a number, or a variable, or a product of a number and one or more variables. |
Product of Powers Property | to multiply exponents with like bases, add their exponents |
Quotient of Powers Property | to divide exponents with like bases, subtract their exponents |
term | each part of an algebraic expression that is separated by an addition or subtraction sign |
Power of a Power Property | to find power of a power with like bases, multiply the exponents |
Power of a Product Property | to find the power of a product with different bases but the same exponent, multiply the bases and keep the same exponent |
expression | has a minimum of two terms containing numbers or variables, or both, connected by an operator in between. The operator can be of addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division. (No Equal Sign!) |
equation | a mathematical statement that shows that two mathematical expressions are equal. |
