- 3. When a power is raised to another power, multiply the exponents. To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators, multiply the denominators, and then simplify the product.
- 5. increases over time
- 6. A negative exponent represents the reciprocal of its base.
- 7. a diagram showing the relation between variable quantities, typically of two variables, each measured along one of a pair of axes at right angles.
- 11. a function where the variable is located in the exponent and the base of the function is a real number not equal to 1.
- 12. a formal assessment or examination of something with the possibility or intention of instituting change if necessary.
- 13. a logarithm with the base e, where e is equal to 2.7182818
- 14. a logarithm with a base of 10.
- 15. the part of mathematics in which letters and other general symbols are used to represent numbers and quantities in formulae and equations.

- 1. logarithm
- 2. decreases over time
- 4. When multiplying two of the same variable, add the exponents. Fractions must have common denominators before being added.
- 8. includes a variable and the base of the function is a positive real number not equal to 1.
- 9. When dividing two of the same variable, subtract the exponents. Fractions must have common denominators before being subtracted.
- 10. the abstract science of number, quantity, and space. Mathematics may be studied in its own right ( pure mathematics ), or as it is applied to other disciplines such as physics and engineering ( applied mathematics ).
