Exponents page 2 What is an exponent? What is exponential form? An exponent tells how many times a number is multiplied by itself. base->73<- exponent 73=7x7x7=343 A number is written in exponential form when the number or base is written with an exponent.
Exponents page 2 continued What is the exponential form of 4x4x4? What is the exponential form of 9x9x9x9x9? What is the value of the exponential form 37? Answer:43 Answer:95 Answer: 3x3x3x3x3x3x3=2,187
Exponents Page 3 Do now Put these into exponential form and solve 4x4x4 3x3x3x3 5x5x5x5
Exponents page 4 How do you use a tree diagram with exponents? A tree diagram is used when dealing with word problems and exponents Ex: A secretary calls 3 families. Then each family calls 3 other families, and so on. How many families will be notified during the 6th round 1st round is the exponent 1, 3 families are called the base 3 which give us 31 Every family calls 3 so the base the round we want is 6 so the exponential number is 36=729
