In exponential notation, the base is the factor being multiplied.
For example, in

, a is the base.

Binomial
Binomial is a polynomial consisting of two terms.

Check
Solution check is a the process of verifying whether the solutions that were
found are valid.
It is accomplished by substituting all potential solutions in the original equation
and simplifying it.
If the result of the simplification yields a true statement (such as 0 = 0), the
solution is valid. Otherwise, it is not.

Circle
Circle is a curve with the following equation:
(x-a)^2+(y-b)^2=r^2
where r is the radius of the circle and (a,b) is its center.

Coefficient
Coefficient is the numerical factor of a term.

Complex Conjugate
The complex conjugate of a complex number is found by changing the sign of its
imaginary part.

Complex Fraction
Any fraction that contains a fraction in its numerator, or denominator (or both) is
called a complex fraction.

Complex Number
Any number that can be expressed in the form a + bi, where a and b are real
