6. 1.2 Exponents and Powers GOAL: Evaluate a Power. KEY WORDS: Power Exponent Base Grouping Symbols

7. 1.2 Exponents and Powers GROUPING SYMBOLS Parentheses ( ) and brackets [ ] are grouping symbols. They tell you the order in which to do the operations. You must do the operations within the innermost set of grouping symbols first: (3 ∙ 4) + 7 = 12 + 7 = 193 ∙ (4 + 7) = 3 ∙ 11 = 33 You will learn more about the order of operations in the next lesson. First add. Then multiply.First multiply. Then add.

EXAMPLE 3: Evaluate Exponential Expressions Evaluate the variable expression when a = 1 and b = 2. a.b. a.(a 2 ) + (b 2 )b.(a + b) 2Solution a. a.(a 2 ) + (b 2 ) = (1 2 ) + (2 2 ) Substitute 1 for a and 2 for b = (1 ∙ 1) + (2 ∙ 2) Write factors. = 1 + 4 Multiply = 5 Add. 1.2 Exponents and Powers
