Exponent: It is a raised number representing the repeated multiplication of a given factor.

Exponential equation: Equation with variables in the exponent (s)

Exponential function: Any equation of the form y = b^x that has a variable as exponent. Exponential functions and logarithmic functions are inverses each other.

Logarithm (log): log_b x is the power to which the base b needs to be raised in order to get x.

Logarithmic equation: An equation that contains logarithmic expressions.

Logarithmic function: Any function of the form y = log_b x
Logarithmic functions and Exponential functions are inverses.

Natural logarithm: y = ln x is the natural log or logarithm to the base e or y = log_e x.

Natural logarithmic function: A function with a natural logarithm expression.

Power: Exponent of a number or variable.

Principal root: Given a number with two roots, the positive root is the principal and its given by the radical sign.

Rational exponent: Given that the nth root of x is a real number and m is an integer, we have that x^1/n = ⁿÖx and x^m/n = ⁿÖx^m= (ⁿÖa)ⁿ

Rational number: Any number that may written as a fraction; including whole numbers (written as fractions with 1 as denominator) and decimals that truncate or repeat (may be expressed as fractions).

Term: A form of grouping one or more numerical and/or variable factors by means of multiplication and division. Addition and subtraction symbols separate terms.
