If u < v and c > 0, then uc < vc. If u < and c < 0, then uc > vc

The graph of the solutions of a linear inequality (in x) on a number line

The number zero on a number line, or the point where the x- and y-axes cross in the Cartesian coordinate system, or the point where the x-, y-, and z-axes cross in Cartesian three-dimensional space

A number pattern in which row n (beginning with n = 02) consists of the coefficients of the expanded form of (a+b)n.

See Polar coordinate system.

A function of the form ƒ(x) = k . x a, where k and a are nonzero constants. k is the constant of variation and a is the power.
