What is the definition for power in math term?
power in a math term is when you multiply the exponents
What is a term with the same variables raised to the same exponents?
They are known as like terms.
Is x3-27 equals 0 a quadratic equation?
No, it's a cubic equation. A quadratic equation contains, as its term raised to the highest power, a square. Example: x2. A cubic equation contains, as its term raised to the highest power, a cube. Example: x3. A quartic equation contains, as its term raised to the highest power, a term raised to the fourth power. Example: x4. Quintic, x5. And so, on.
What does the math term power mean?
The term "power" is another term for a number's exponent. When there is a number raised to a power, you multiply that number by itself the amount of times equal to the power. For example: 43 The power, or exponent, would be the 3. This means you would multiply 4 by itself three times. 43 = 4*4*4 = 64 another example: 56 = 5*5*5*5*5*5 = 15625
What the sum of the exponents of the variables?
That means that you are supposed to add them.Multiplying the same variable raised to different powers is equivalent to adding the exponents. For example, 10^5 x 10^3 = 10^(5+3) = 10^8. (Using "^" for powers.)
