Inverse/ Reciprocal Opposites or same operations going different directions Eg. + and -
Perfect Square A number that divides into itself. It has two identical factors. Eg. 9 = (3x3)
Square Root To find the root of a perfect square. Eg. The square root of 9 is 3
Prime Number A number whose factors are only one and itself Eg. 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23...
Prime Factors The smallest multiples a number can break down into(all prime numbers) Eg. 100 = 2x2 x 5x5
Exponent The number of times a base is multiplied by itself to be a power Eg. 3^2 = 2 is the EXPONENT
Base The number that is multiplied by itself an X number of times depending on the exponent Eg. 3^2 = 3 is the BASE
Power Repeated multiplication is done to the base determined by the exponent
Expanded Form (of a power) Is the form of the entire equation Eg. 3^2 is 3 x 3
Exponential Form (of a power) Is the form of the power Eg. 3 x 3 = 3^2
Standard Form (of a power) The solution to the power Eg. 3^2 = 9
x^1 A number to the power of 1 equals itself
x^0 Any number to the power of 0 equals 1
BEDMAS or PEMDAS Acronym for Brackets(Parenthesis), Exponents, Division/Multiplication, Addition /Subtraction
Distributive Property Exponents applying to brackets are applied equally to every term(number) in the brackets
