Degree of a Polynomial
The highest degree of any term in the polynomial
Term
A single number, variable, or the product of numbers and variables in an algebraic expression
Constant Term
A term in an algebraic expression that does not contain any variables and therefore does not change
Factor
A number or expression that divides another number or expression evenly
Expression
A combination of individual terms separated by plus or minus signs without an equals sign
Rational Expression
A ratio of two polynomial expressions
Binomial
An algebraic expression containing exactly two terms
Quadratic Formula
A formula that provides the solutions to a quadratic equation of the form
Polynomial
An algebraic expression with one or more terms where the exponents are whole numbers and the coefficients are real.
Coefficient
A numerical or constant factor before a variable in an algebraic term
Equation
A mathematical statement that asserts the equality of two expressions, indicated by the equal sign
Monomial
An algebraic expression with only one term
Trinomial
An algebraic expression composed of three terms
Variable
A symbol, typically a letter, used to represent a number in mathematical expressions and equations
Degree of a Term
The sum of the exponents of the variables in a single term
Function
An expression that describes a relationship where each input (independent variable) is associated with exactly one output (dependent variable)
Solution
The value(s) of a variable that satisfies an equation, making the equation true
Zero Product Property
States that if a product of factors equals zero, then at least one of the factors must equal zero
Vertex of a Parabola
The highest or lowest point on a parabola, which is a symmetrical point where the axis of symmetry intersects the parabola
Distributive Property
States that multiplying a sum by a number gives the same result as multiplying each addend by the number and then adding the products
