How would you write this problem using exponents? 1. 2 • 2 • 2 • 2 • 2 • 2 • 2 = 27 2. (-3)(-3) (-3)(-3) = (-3)4 3. a • a • a • a • a • a • a • a = a8 4. a • m • m • a • m • a • a = a4 m3 5. p • 2 • r • r • r • p • 2 = 22 p2 r3
Can you solve these Problems? Evaluate each expression. 34 3 * 3 * 3 * 3 81 55 5 * 5 * 5 * 5 * 5 3,125 103 10 * 10 * 10 1,000 125 12 * 12 * 12 * 12 * 12 248,832
Remember!!!!!! Write each power as a product of the same factor. Means to write the base as a factor x number of times (depends on the exponent). Example: 32 = 3 * 3 Example: 106 = 10 * 10 * 10 * 10 * 10 * 10
Write numbers in exponential form means to write the factors as one factor with an exponent. Example: 4 * 4 * 4 * 4 = 44 Example: 10 * 10 * 10 * 10 * 10 = 105
