Question

Match the vocab word with the correct definition.

1. equivalent expressions
two equivalent expressions connected by an equal sign
2. exponential decay
expressions that are equal in value even though they are written in different ways
3. equation
y = a^x, where a is greater than zero but not equal to 1 and x is an exponent
4. distributive property
decline of a quantity that is directly proportional to the amount present
5. exponential function
a(b + c) = ab + ac, or a(b - c) = ab - ac

Answer 1

1. equivalent expressions — expressions that are equal in value even though they are written in different ways

2. exponential decay — decline of a quantity that is directly proportional to the amount present

3. equation — two equivalent expressions connected by an equal sign

4. distributive property — a(b + c) = ab + ac, or a(b - c) = ab - ac

5. exponential function — y = a^x, where a > 0 and a ≠ 1
