an algebraic expression or number written as a product of its simpler parts or factors

In an expression like (2^3) (two cubed), the exponent is the small number in the upper right corner that shows how many times a number is multiplied by itself

when a quantity increases by a constant percentage over equal time intervals, making the growth get faster and faster over time

a process where a quantity decreases over time at a rate proportional to its current value

equivalent expressions

math expressions that look different but have the same value for any number you put in for the variables

In an expression like (2^3) (two cubed), the base is the main large number on the bottom

when a value increases by a consistent percentage or multiplier over regular time periods, causing the growth to speed up rapidly.

can "shrink" or simplify exponents in math by applying basic rules like combining like bases, subtracting powers during division

the top number in a fraction that shows how many parts of a whole you have

the bottom number in a fraction that shows the total number of equal parts the whole is divided into

a value, or a set of values, that makes an equation, inequality, or system true when you substitute it for the unknown variable

there is no single number or set of values you can plug into an equation or a system of equations that will make the statement true

when any real number value substituted for the variable makes the statement true

a pair of two numbers or counters—one positive and one negative—that combine to equal zero

different algebraic statements that share the exact same solution set

distributive property

multiplying a number by a group of numbers added or subtracted together gives the same result as multiplying each number in the group individually and then combining the results a(b + c) = ab + ac

terms in an algebraic expression that have the exact same variables raised to the same powers

a symbol—usually a letter like x, y, or n—that represents an unknown or changing number

an expression that shows repeated multiplication of the same number--it combines a base number and an exponent

a number that multiplies a variable in an algebraic expression

a fixed value that does not change
