Math Review

6. a quantity representing the power to which a given number or expression is to be raised, usually expressed as a raised symbol beside the number or expression
7. solating a variable means rearranging an algebraic equation so that a different variable is on its own. The goal is to choose a sequence of operations that will leave the variable of interest on one side and put all other terms on the other side of the equal sign.
8. a multiplier or factor that measures some property.
9. terms he like terms are defined as the terms that contain the same variable which is raised to the same power.

1. root a number which produces a specified quantity when multiplied by itself.
2. The set of all output values of a function. Example: when the function f(x) = x2 is given the values x = {1,2,3,...} then the range is {1,4,9,...}
3. In its simplest form in algebra, the definition of an equation is a mathematical statement that shows that two mathematical expressions are equal. For instance, 3x + 5 = 14 is an equation, in which 3x + 5 and 14 are two expressions separated by an 'equal' sign.
4. In algebra, a symbol (usually a letter) standing in for an unknown numerical value in an equation or an algebraic expression. In simple words, a variable is a quantity that can be changed and is not fixed.
5. The domain of a function is the set of values that we are allowed to plug into our function.
