1.2 Variables in Algebra

Definition of Algebraic Expression

A collection of letters (called variables) and real numbers(called constants) combined using the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division is calledan algebraic expression.

• Term An expression separated by a plus or minus sign• Variable A letter that represents a number• Coefficient A number in front of a variable

1.3 Exponents and PowersExponents

If a is a real number and n is a natural number, then the nth power of a, or a raised to the nth power, written as an, is the product of n factors, each of which is a. exponent base an = a • a • a … • a

72 is read as seven to the second power or 7 squared.

43 is read as 4 to the third power or 3 cubed.
