Here are the vocabulary terms matched with their definitions:

1. **Standard Form**: A way to express a number or an equation, typically written in a conventional format.

2. **Sequence**: An ordered list of numbers that follow a particular pattern or rule.

3. **Factorial**: The product of all positive integers up to a specified number, denoted by n! (e.g., 5! = 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1).

4. **2nd Differences**: The differences of the differences of consecutive terms in a sequence; used to determine if a sequence is quadratic.

5. **Arithmetic Sequence**: A sequence in which the difference between consecutive terms is constant.

6. **Successive Differences**: The differences between consecutive terms of a sequence.

7. **Polynomial**: An expression consisting of variables and coefficients, composed using only addition, subtraction, multiplication, and non-negative integer exponents.

8. **1st Differences**: The differences between consecutive terms in a sequence; helps identify the type of sequence.

9. **Constant Differences**: A situation in which the differences between terms remain the same, indicating a linear relationship.

10. **Common Difference**: The fixed amount added (or subtracted) to each term in an arithmetic sequence.

11. **Polynomial Expression**: A mathematical expression that involves a polynomial.

12. **Polynomial Sequence**: A sequence where each term can be expressed as a polynomial in terms of its position in the sequence.

13. **Degree**: The highest power of the variable in a polynomial expression.

14. **Quadratic Polynomial**: A polynomial of degree 2, typically in the form \( ax^2 + bx + c \).
