Algebra Unit 6

3. When dividing powers with the same base, subtract the exponents.
4. A negative exponent indicates the reciprocal of the base raised to the opposite exponent.
6. A line that a graph approaches but does not touch. For most basic exponential functions, the horizontal asymptote is y=0.
9. A function in which the variable appears in the exponent.
10. When raising a power to a power, multiply the exponents.
11. A symbol used to indicate a root of a number or expression.
13. A number that, when multiplied by itself, equals a given number.
14. An algebraic expression consisting of a single term, such as 5x.
16. Any nonzero number raised to the power of zero equals 1.

1. Terms that have the same variables raised to the same powers.
2. When multiplying powers with the same base, add the exponents.
5. Exponential change in which values decrease by a constant percent over equal intervals.
7. The constant factor used to multiply one term of a geometric sequence to get the next term.
8. A sequence in which each term is found by multiplying the previous term by the same nonzero number.
12. Exponential change in which values increase by a constant percent over equal intervals.
15. Simplifying an expression by adding or subtracting like terms.
