Monomial Calculator

How does the Monomials Calculator work?
This calculator will raise a monomial to a power, multiply monomials, or divide monomials.
This calculator has 3 inputs.

What 5 formulas are used for the Monomials Calculator?
mx^a + nx^a = (m + n)x^a
mx^a - nx^a = (m - n)x^a
(x^m)^n = x^(m * n)
x^m * x^n = x^(m + n)
x^m/x^n = x^(m - n)

What 5 concepts are covered in the Monomials Calculator?
constant
a value that always assumes the same value independent of how its parameters are varied

exponent
The power to raise a number

monomial
a polynomial which has only one term. Constants and variables are monomials as well as one term polynomials

power
how many times to use the number in a multiplication

variable
Alphabetic character representing a number
