Takeaways

• 😀 Exponents represent the number of times a base number is multiplied by itself.
• 😀 For example, 2^2 means 2 × 2 = 4, and 2^3 means 2 × 2 × 2 = 8.
• 😀 Always solve the exponent first in expressions involving powers.
• 😀 Example: In 2 + 3^2 × 5, solve 3^2 first, which is 9, then multiply by 5 to get 47.
• 😀 When multiplying powers with the same base, add the exponents. For example, 2^2 × 2^3 = 2^5 = 32.
• 😀 Raising a power to a power means multiplying the exponents. For example, (2^2)^2 = 2^4.
• 😀 When multiplying numbers raised to the same power, distribute the exponent across the terms.
• 😀 Example: (2 × 5)^2 becomes 2^2 × 5^2 = 100.
• 😀 When dividing powers with the same base, subtract the exponents. For example, 3^5 ÷ 3^2 = 3^3 = 27.
• 😀 Scientific notation simplifies large or small numbers into a form like a × 10^b, where a is between 1 and 10.
• 😀 Example: 12345 becomes 1.2345 × 10^4 in scientific notation.

Q & A

What is the meaning of exponents in mathematics?

Exponents represent the power to which a number is raised, meaning that the number is multiplied by itself a certain number of times. For example, 2^2 means 2 multiplied by 2, and 2^3 means 2 multiplied by itself three times.

How do you solve an expression involving an exponent and multiplication?

When solving an expression like 2 + 3^2 * 5, you solve the exponent first. 3^2 equals 9, so the expression becomes 2 + 9 * 5. Then, multiply 9 by 5, which equals 45, and finally add 2 to get 47.

What happens when you multiply two numbers with exponents and the same base?

When multiplying two numbers with the same base and exponents, you add the exponents. For example, 2^2 * 2^3 equals 2^(2+3) = 2^5.

Can you add exponents if the base numbers are different?

No, you cannot add exponents if the base numbers are different. For example, 2^2 * 3^2 cannot be simplified by adding the exponents because the bases (2 and 3) are different.

How do you simplify an expression where an exponent is raised to another power?

When raising an exponent to another power, you multiply the exponents. For example, (2^2)^2 equals 2^(2*2) = 2^4.

What is the formula when multiplying two numbers raised to the same power?

The formula for multiplying two numbers raised to the same power is (a * b)^m = a^m * b^m. For example, (2 * 5)^2 equals 2^2 * 5^2.

How do you divide two numbers with exponents?

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

How do you handle negative exponents in division?

When dividing with negative exponents, subtract the exponents. For example, 10^-6 ÷ 10^2 equals 10^(-6-2) = 10^-8.

What is scientific notation and how is it used in mathematics?

Scientific notation is a way of writing numbers that are too large or too small in a compact form. It is expressed as a number between 1 and 10, multiplied by a power of 10. For example, 12345 can be written as 1.2345 × 10^4.

How do you convert a number into scientific notation?

To convert a number into scientific notation, move the decimal point to the left until only one non-zero digit remains to its left. The number of places you move the decimal determines the exponent of 10. For example, 12345 becomes 1.2345 × 10^4.
