|---|---|
| base | In a power, the number that is the common factor. In 10^3, the base is 10. That is 10^3= 10 x 10 x 10 |
| exponent | In a power, the number of times the base is used as a factor. In 10^3, the exponent is 3 |
| evaluate | To find the value of an expression |
| monomial | A number, variable, or product of a number and one or more variables. |
| negative exponent | The result of repeated division used to represent very small numbers. |
| product of powers property | A property that states to multiply power with the same base, add their exponents. |
| power | A product of repeated factors using an exponent and a base. The power is 7^3 is read seven to the third power or seven squared. |
| power of a power property | A property that states to find the power of a power, multiply the exponents. |
| power of a product property | A property that states to find the power of a product, find the power of each factor and multiply. |
| quotient of powers property | A property that states to divide powers with the same base, subtract their exponents. |
| scientific notation | A compact way of writing numbers with absolute values that are very large or very small. In scientific notation, 5,500 is 5.5 x 10^3. |
| standard form | Numbers written without exponent |
| term | Each part of an algebraic expression separated by an addition or subtraction sign. |
