Power: a number produced by raising a base to an exponent. Base: the number or factor being raised to a power Exponent: the # that represents how many times a base is used as a factor
This is a # in Exponential Form…..
2⁵ E
S BA
This means 2 · 2 · 2 · 2 · 2 = 32
EXPONENT
Writing
in exponential form 3 · 3 · 3 · 3 · 3 · 3 3⁶ (3 is a factor 6 times) ( ( n
-2)·(-2)·(-2)·(-2) -2 )⁴ ( -2 is a factor 4 times)
·n·n·n·n n⁵ ( n is a factor 5 times)
2⁶ 2
· 2 · 2 · 2 · 2 · 2 = 64
(
- 8 )² ( - 8 ) · ( - 8 ) = 64 ( (
- 5 )³ - 5 ) · ( - 5 ) · ( - 5 ) = - 125
Simplify
50 – 2(3 · 2³) PEMDAS!!!!!!! 50 – 2(3 · 2³) 50 – 2(3 · 8) (solve exponents first) 50 – 2(24) (do inside parentheses) 50 – 48 (solve multiplication) 2 (get your answer from subtracting)
6⁶
10 x 10 = 100
125 – 10
115
