Spring Exam Flashcards
Power of Powers
multiplying exponents
(a^2)^5= a^10
Product of Powers
multiplying coefficients, then adding exponents
2=(12a^4b^3)(2a^2b^3)= 24a^6b^6
Quotient of Powers
subtract (division)
a^3/a^2=a
Negative Exponents
reciprocal
a^2=1/a
5^-2=1/25
Zero exponents
anything to the power of 0 equals 1
Monomial
1 term
2a
Binomial
2 terms
2a+3
Polynomial
multiple terms
Trinomial
Three Terms
Square of The Sum
a^2+2ab+b^2
(2a+3)^2
Square of The difference
a^2-2ab+b^2
(2a-3)^2
Perfect Square trinomial
4x^2+20x+25
Zero Product Property
if ab=0 then either a or b equals zero, or they both equal zero
