math A
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
Finding what to multiply to get an expression. (Called Factorizing in British English.)
factoring
In Algebra a term is either a single number or variable, or numbers and variables multiplied together.
term
The result of multiplying a whole number by itself twice
cube number
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.It is written as a small number to the right and above the base number.
power
The exponent of a number says how many times to use that number in a multiplication.
exponent
(It is called dependent because its value depends on what you put into the function.)
dependent variable
a × 1 = 1 × a = a
multiplicative identity
The result of multiplying an integer (not a fraction) by itself.
square number
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
A symbol for a value we don't know yet. It is usually a letter like x or y.
