- 8. a function that involves only non-negative integer powers or only positive integer exponents of a variable in an equation
- 10. multiplying the sum of two or more addends by a number will give the same result as multiplying each addend individually by the number and then adding the products together
- 11. another complex number that has the same real part as the original complex number, and the imaginary part has the same magnitude but opposite sign
