A value, or values, we can put in place of a variable (such as x) that makes the equation true.
solution
|
How much there is of something.
quantity
|
A number used to multiply a variable.
Example: 6z means 6 times z, and "z" is a variable, so 6 is a coefficient.
coefficient
|
An "input" value of a function.
Independent Variable
|
the power (or exponent) of a number says how many times to use the number in a multiplication.
power

The exponent of a number says how many times to use that number in a multiplication.
exponent
|
The "output" value of a function.(It is called dependent because its value depends on what you put into the function.)
Dependent Variable
|
a × 1 = 1 × a = a
"Multiplicative Identity"
|
a square number or perfect square is an integer that is the square of an integer; in other words, it is the product of some integer with itself. For example, 9 is a square number, since it equals 32 and can be written as 3 × 3.
square number
|
Finding what to multiply to get an expression. (Called Factorizing in British English.)
Factoring
|
Terms whose variables (such as x or y) with any exponents (such as the 2 in x2) are the same.
term
|
The whole number is used three times, just like the sides of a cube.
cube
|
The Distributive Law says that multiplying a number by a group of numbers added together is the same as doing each multiplication separately.
distributive law
|
a + 0 = 0 + a = a
additive identity
|
The result of multiplying a whole number by itself twice.
