Study Notes
Solving Equations with Exponents
- First step in solving equations with exponents and no parentheses is to evaluate the exponents.
- Operations to be performed include addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division based on their order of precedence.
Calculating with Exponents
- Result of 2² + 2³ is 4 + 8 = 12.
- In the equation 5⁴ - 3⁵, calculate 5⁴ (625) and 3⁵ (243), then subtract; the result is 625 - 243 = 382.
- Result of 3 to the power of 5 (3⁵) is 243.
Understanding Exponents
- An exponent indicates how many times the base number is multiplied by itself.
- 4² represents multiplying 4 by itself two times, leading to 16.
- A number with an exponent of 3 means it is multiplied by itself three times, expressed as base × base × base.
- Raising a number to the 5th power indicates multiplying that number by itself five times, i.e., base × base × base × base × base.
Exponential Representation
- Multiplying 7 five times can be expressed using exponents as 7⁵.
