A mathematical statement showing two expressions have the same value.

A value on which mathematical operations take place in an expression. Also, a number in a sequence or series.

What comes out of a function, also called y-value, range, and dependent variable

Mathematical statements that have a minimum of two terms containing numbers, variables, or both. These terms are connected by an operation such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division.

Any value for the variable would make the equation true. When solving the equation, both sides are equal.

What is put into a function, also called x-value, domain, and independent variable

A term with a fixed value in an expression or equation. A constant is not affected by any changes in the variable.

a property indicating a special way in which multiplication is applied to addition of two or more numbers in which each term inside a set of parentheses can be multiplied by a factor outside the parentheses, such as a(b + c) = ab + ac

A symbol written above and to the right of a mathematical expression to indicate how many times the mathematical expression (base) should be multiplied by itself.

Expressions that contain the same variables to the same power

No value for the variable would make the equation. When solving the equation, you are left with unequal constants.

To give a value, or meaning, to mathematical expressions, such as symbols and formulas.

An equation whose graph is a line.
