6X-4
2(3X-2)
(X+4)(X+8)
X2+12X+32
This term refers to the process of rewriting a polynomial as the product of two or more simpler polynomials.
factoring
When multiplying two expressions with the same base, you do this to the exponents.
add them
This term describes the ratio of vertical change to horizontal change between two points on a line.
slope
X2-121
(X-11)(X+11)
(X-5)(X-10)
X2-15X+50
he largest monomial that divides evenly into all terms of a polynomial.
greatest common factor (GCF)
In the expression (X3)4, you simplify by doing this to the exponents.
multiply them
The point where two linear equations intersect represents this.

2X2-X-15
MULTIPLY
(X-6)(X+6)
X2-36
This type of polynomial, in the form of a2−b2, can always be factored into the product of two binomials.
difference of squares
When dividing two expressions with the same base, you do this to the exponents
subtract them
A relation is only a function if no two ordered pairs share this value.
What is the x-value (or input/domain)
X2-15X+56
(X-7)(X-8)
MULTIPLY
(X2+4)(X+3)
X3+3X2+4X+12
When no further factoring can be done, a polynomial is considered to be in this state.
factored completely
Any nonzero number raised to the power of zero is always equal to this
1
In a direct variation, the ratio of y to x is always this.
constant (or constant of proportionality)
X2+13X+42
(X+6)(X+7)
MULTIPLY
(2X2+5)(X+7)
2X3+14X2+5X+35
In the trinomial x2+5x+6, these two numbers multiply to 6 and add to 5, making it possible to factor.
2 AND 3
A negative exponent means you must do this to the base to make the exponent positive.
take the reciprocal (or move it to the denominator)
This property states that multiplying a sum by a number is the same as multiplying each addend separately and then adding the products.
