Terminology • Algebraic expression - a mathematical phrase made up of numbers and variables, connected by + or - • Variable - a quantity whose value can change, a letter • Constant • Coefficient - Factor the variable is multiplied by
Terminology • Power • Exponent • Base
Representing Powers • Term – part of an algebraic expression, separated by addition or subtraction • Degree of a term – is the sum of the exponents on the variables has degree 4

Multiplying and Dividing Powers • Powers in expanded form • When multiplying Powers, add the exponents
Dividing Powers • When dividing powers, subtract the exponents
Representing expressions involving powers • Simplify = = = = = 4
