Laws of Exponents part 1

we can expand variable with a exponent because if we have x^3 you expand it x*x*x an you get x^3. The exponent of y is one because there is one of what y stands for. x times x is x^2. The reason why it not just x is because if you have one apple that is a if you have two apples it is a^2. If you have an exponent it is telling you how many of the variable you have. I have been noticing a patten. 

Integral Exponents

To square a number means to multiply a number by itself two times. To cube a number is to multiply a number by it self three times. The exponent relate telling you how many of the base you have.

journal entry 3

We can not simplify and expression that does not have like terms. x^2y and xy^2 are not like terms because the exponents are not in the same place. xy is not the same as xyz we can not combine them because they are not like term. The power of m^7 is 7. The base is m. A negative base is a real number. If the base is x the negative base is -x.

Unlike Terms

The unlike terms are x an x^2 because they have different exponents. You can combine terms that have the same exponent but if they don't have the same exponent, they are unlike terms and u can't combine unlike terms. Something you can remember is if they don't have the same variable don't combine anything. You can not multiply  8m*2m because that makes it one term because  multiplication or division dose not separated  and term. An coefficient is the number in an expression. The coefficient is important because it tell you how many of the variable you have. 

Like Terms

The definition of a like term is an expression with the same variables. Yes 100p an 3000p are like terms because they have the same variable, You can combine them. We can not combine 2d+2f because they don't have the same variable. An expression can not have an equal sign, because then it would not be an expression it would be and equation.

R- the information in the box helps me understand the article
A- because she has lot of work to do and she is a busy.
F-,
T-she has an chart of what she has to do but some people in this time don't use chart they just do anything at any time .
