Takeaways

• 😀 Exponents are also called powers, where the exponent (n) represents the number of times the base (a) is multiplied by itself.
• 😀 The expression a^n means multiplying a by itself n times, for example, 3^4 = 3 * 3 * 3 * 3 = 81.
• 😀 One key property of exponents is that when multiplying two terms with the same base, the exponents are added, i.e., a^m * a^n = a^(m+n).
• 😀 When dividing terms with the same base, subtract the exponents: a^m / a^n = a^(m-n).
• 😀 Raising a power to another power means multiplying the exponents: (a^m)^n = a^(m*n).
• 😀 If two numbers are multiplied and then raised to a power, each number gets raised to that power: (a * b)^m = a^m * b^m.
• 😀 When dividing two terms raised to the same power, each term is raised to the power separately: (a/b)^m = a^m / b^m.
• 😀 Any number raised to the power of 0 equals 1, except for 0 itself: a^0 = 1.
• 😀 A negative exponent indicates a reciprocal, i.e., a^-m = 1/a^m.
• 😀 A fractional exponent represents a root, for example, a^(1/n) = √n(a).

Q & A

What are exponents, and how are they related to powers?

Exponents, also known as powers, represent repeated multiplication of a base number. For example, if a number has an exponent of a^n, then 'n' is the exponent, and 'a' is the base. It indicates that the base number 'a' is multiplied by itself 'n' times.

Can you give an example of how to calculate exponents?

Sure! For example, 3^4 means multiplying 3 by itself four times: 3 * 3 * 3 * 3 = 81. Similarly, (-5)^3 means multiplying -5 by itself three times: -5 * -5 * -5 = -125.

What is the first property of exponents?

The first property states that when two exponents with the same base are multiplied, the exponents are added together. For example, 2^2 * 2^3 equals 2^(2+3) or 2^5.

What is the second property of exponents?

The second property says that when dividing two exponents with the same base, the exponents are subtracted. For example, 5^7 / 5^4 equals 5^(7-4) or 5^3.

What happens when a number with an exponent is raised to another exponent?

When a number with an exponent is raised to another exponent, the exponents are multiplied. For example, (3^2)^3 equals 3^(2*3) or 3^6.

What is the fourth property of exponents?

The fourth property states that when two numbers are multiplied and then raised to a power, the exponent applies to each number separately. For example, (2^2 * 3^3)^2 becomes 2^(2*2) * 3^(3*2), or 2^4 * 3^6.

How do you handle division with exponents?

When dividing numbers with exponents and the same base, the exponents are subtracted. For example, (3/5)^3 equals 3^3 / 5^3.

What happens when a number is raised to the power of 0?

Any non-zero number raised to the power of 0 equals 1. For example, 3^0 = 1, and 5^0 = 1.

What does a negative exponent mean?

A negative exponent indicates that the number should be reciprocated. For example, 3^-2 is equivalent to 1/3^2.

How do fractional exponents work?

Fractional exponents represent roots. For example, 3^(1/2) is the same as √3. Similarly, 5^(2/3) is the same as the cube root of 5 squared.
