Takeaways

• 😀 Exponents represent how many times a number is multiplied by itself.
• 😀 When multiplying numbers with the same base, add the exponents (e.g., 2^3 × 2^4 = 2^7).
• 😀 When dividing numbers with the same base, subtract the exponents (e.g., 2^5 ÷ 2^3 = 2^2).
• 😀 Raising a power to another power means multiplying the exponents (e.g., (2^3)^2 = 2^6).
• 😀 Negative exponents represent reciprocals (e.g., 2^(-3) = 1/2^3).
• 😀 An even power of a negative number results in a positive outcome (e.g., (-3)^4 = 81).
• 😀 An odd power of a negative number results in a negative outcome (e.g., (-2)^5 = -32).
• 😀 If numbers have different bases, use prime factorization to simplify (e.g., 18 = 2 × 3^2).
• 😀 Algebraic expressions follow the same exponent rules; simplify step-by-step for clarity.
• 😀 Understanding the properties of exponents allows for easier problem-solving and simplification of complex expressions.

Q & A

What are exponents, and how are they represented?

Exponents represent how many times a number is multiplied by itself. For example, 7^3 means 7 multiplied by 7 multiplied by 7. Exponents are written as a base number followed by the exponent (power) in a superscript form.

What is the rule when multiplying numbers with the same base but different exponents?

When multiplying numbers with the same base, you add the exponents. For example, 2^m × 2^n equals 2^(m+n). However, the bases must be the same for this rule to apply.

What happens when dividing numbers with the same base but different exponents?

When dividing numbers with the same base, you subtract the exponents. For example, 2^5 ÷ 2^3 equals 2^(5-3) or 2^2.

How do exponents behave when a number is raised to a power of another exponent?

When a number is raised to another power, you multiply the exponents. For example, (2^3)^2 equals 2^(3×2), which simplifies to 2^6.

How do you handle negative exponents?

A negative exponent indicates the reciprocal of the base raised to the positive exponent. For example, 2^(-3) equals 1/2^3, or 1/8.

What is the result of raising a negative number to an even power?

When a negative number is raised to an even power, the result is positive. For example, (-3)^4 equals 81 because the negative sign is effectively 'cancelled' out.

How do you handle the power of numbers in fractions?

The properties of exponents apply to fractions as well. For example, (2/3)^3 equals 2^3 / 3^3, or 8/27.

What is the approach when dealing with different bases in exponentiation problems?

When the bases are different, prime factorization can help simplify the problem. For example, when working with 18 and 9, you factor them into primes (2×3^2) and (3^2), and then simplify accordingly.

What happens when you add or subtract exponents with the same base?

Exponents with the same base cannot be directly added or subtracted unless they are in a factored form. For example, 2^5 + 2^4 cannot be added directly, but you can factor them into 2^4 (2 + 1).

How can you simplify expressions with mixed properties of exponents?

You can simplify complex expressions by applying exponent rules step-by-step. Start by solving inside parentheses, simplifying powers first, and then applying multiplication, division, and other properties.
