Algebra 2 Definitions

2. Type of polynomial that has a degree of 2. Algebraic equation that can be written as ax^2+bx^2+c.
5. Make it simpler or easier to understand. Reducing an expression/ equation to its simplest form by combining like terms, eliminating unnecessary element, or applying mathematical operations.
6. When a number is repeatedly multiplied by itself a certain number of times. Can be written as a^x.
10. A number that multiplies a variable in a algebraic equation. Shows the scale or magnitude of variables.
12. Symbol that represents quantity. Usually represented by a letter such as "x" or "y".

1. The distance from zero on the number line. Represents the magnitude or size of a number regardless of its sign.
3. A fixed value that does not change. A number on its own, with no attached variables.
4. The process of replacing variable or expression with its corresponding value. Replacing the variable to simplify or solve and equation/ expression.
7. Algebraic expression that is made up of one or more terms, where each term can be a variable, constant, or both. The terms are combined using addition or subtraction.
8. Mathematical relationship that can be represented by a straight line. Involves variables raised to the power of 1, the equation can be written as y=mx+b.
9. Refers to a component or part of an algebraic equation. It can be a single number, variable, or a both connected by mathematical operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division.
11. Number or algebraic expression that divides evenly into another number/ expression.
