Math
A value, or values, we can put in place of a variable (such as x) that makes the equation true.
solution
An "input" value of a function.
independent variable
The ''output'' value of a function.
dependent variable
Finding what to multiply to get an expression. 2y+6 = 2(y+3)
factoring
Example: 3 × (2 + 4) = 3×2 + 3×4
distributive law
A number used to multiply a variable.
Example: 6z means 6 times z, and "z" is a variable, so 6 is a+__________.
coefficient
It is written as a small number to the right and above the base number.
exponent
The result of multiplying an integer (not a fraction) by itself.
Example: 4 × 4 = 16, so 16 is a ________________.
square number
The result of multiplying a whole number by itself twice. Example: 3 × 3 × 3 = 27, so 27 is a _____________.
cube number
A symbol for a value we don't know yet. It is usually a letter like x or y. Example: in x + 2 = 6, x is the _____________.
variable
How much there is of something.
quantity
It is written as a small number to the right and above the base number.
power
a × 1 = 1 × a = a
multiplicative identity
In Algebra a term is either a single number or variable, or numbers and variables multiplied together.
term
a + 0 = 0 + a = a
additive identity
