Study Notes

  • Calculations with exponents is a topic involving simplifying expressions with square roots and cube roots.
  • A square root sign functions like a bracket for order of operations.
  • It is possible to simplify any addition or subtraction underneath the square root sign where possible.
  • √16 + 9 = √25 = 5 and √169 - 144 = √25 = 5, shows how to simplify.
  • The square root of a number multiplied by itself equals the original number, for example (√20)² = 20.
  • The cube root of a number that is then cubed is equal to the number, for example (∛20)³ = 20.

Exercise 2.3 - Calculations and Simplifications

  • Exercise 2.3 presents multiple problems, requiring simplification of expressions with exponents, square roots, and cube roots.

Simplifying Expressions

  • These questions involve using exponent rules and combining terms.
  • One must simplify: 2⁵ + 3³, 3⁴ + 3³ + √8, 4² + 4², and 3³ - 3².
  • Also requires simplifying: 10⁻¹ - 10.

Finding Values of Expressions with Square Roots

  • These questions involve order of operations within square roots.
  • This means one must find the values of: √9 + 16, √9 + √16, √25 - 16, √25 - √16, √100 - 64, and √100 - √64.

Simplifying Expressions with Squared Square Roots

  • The questions involve the concept of squaring a square root cancels each other out: (√16)², (√64)², (√25)², (√30)², (√48)², and (√120)².

Simplifying Expressions with Cubed Roots

  • These questions involve the same concept of cubing a cubed root cancels each other out (∛8)³, (∛27)³, (∛64)³, (∛12)³, (∛1000)³, and (∛250)³.
