●● Addition
Answer: Increases the value of one quantity by the value of another
quantity
●● Subtraction
Answer: The opposite operation of addition, it decreases the value of
one quantity by the value of another quantity
●● Multiplication
Answer: Can be thought of as repeated addition, one number indicates
how many times to add the other number to itself
●● Division
Answer: Is the opposite operation to multiplication, one number tells
how many parts to divide the other number into
●● Math Parentheses
,Answer: Used to designate which operation should be done first when
there are multiple operations
●● Exponent
Answer: Superscript number placed next to another number at the top
right, Indicating how many times the bass number is to be multiplied by
itself
●● What is the Property of a^1=a?
Answer: Any number to the power of one is equal to itself
●● What is the Property of 1^n=1?
Answer: The number one raised to any power is equal to one
●● What is the Property of a^0=1?
Answer: Any number raised to the power of zero is equal to one
●● What is the Property of a^n x a^m=a^n+m?
Answer: Add exponents to multiply powers of the same base number
●● What is the Property of a^n / a^m=a^n-m?
Answer: Subtract exponents to divide powers of the same base number
,●● What is the Property of (a x b)^n=a^n x b^n and (a / b)^n=a^n / b^n?
Answer: Multiplication and division operations inside parentheses can
be raised to a power, this is the same as each term being raised to the
power
●● What is the Property of a^-n=1/a^n?
Answer: A negative exponent is the same as the reciprocal of a positive
exponent
●● Root
Answer: Another way of writing a fractional exponent with the radical
symbol
●● Perfect Square
Answer: A number that has an integer for its square root
●● Order of Operations
Answer: A set of rules that dictate the order in which we must perform
each operation in an expression so that we evaluate it
●● PEMDAS
Answer: -Parentheses
, -Exponents
-Multiplication
-Division
-Addition
-Subtraction
●● Regrouping Subtraction
Answer: When subtracting, borrow a unit from the place value to the left
in order to get a positive difference
●● Prime Number
Answer: Has only two factors, but other numbers can have many factors
●● Common Factor
Answer: A number that divides exactly into two or more other numbers
●● Prime Factor
Answer: Also a prime number
