variable | letters used to represent unspecified numbers or values ex. x, y, or z |
order of operations | Parentheses, exponents, multiplication and division from left to right, addition and subtraction from left to right aka - PEMDAS |
coefficient | the numerical part of an algebraic term ex. the number "2" in the term 2x |
algebraic expression | a mathematical expression consisting of one or more numbers and variables along with one or more arithmetic operations (NO EQUALS SIGN) ex. 2x + 6 |
equation | two algebraic expressions separated by an equals sign ex. 2x +6 = -8 |
exponent | in an expression in the form of x^n, the exponent is "n". It indicates the number of times "x" is used as a factor. ex. 4^3, 3 is the exponent and indicates the factor "4" is multiplied 3 times, 4*4*4 |
multiplicative inverse | Two numbers with a product of 1 ex. 1/2 * 2 = 1 or 3/4 * 4/3 |

arithmetic sequence | a numerical pattern which increases or decreases at a constant rate or value. The difference between successive terms is constant. ex. 11,7,3,-1,-5... is an arithmetic sequence with a common difference of d = -4 |
quotient | the result of dividing two terms ex. 6 is the quotient of 24/4 |
sum | the result of adding two terms together ex. -2 is the sum of 3 + -5 |
common difference | the constant difference between the terms in an arithmetic sequence ex. in the arithmetic sequence 3,5,7,9,... the common difference is d = 2 |
