Exponents and Scientific Notation Evaluate exponential forms with integer exponents. 2.Write scientific notation in standard form. 3.Write standard form numbers in scientific notation.

Objective 1 Evaluate exponential forms with integer exponents.

When an equation in one variable is solved the answer is a point on a line. Identify the base, exponent and evaluate. Base: Exponent: Value: Base: Exponent: Value: Base: Exponent: Value: Base: Exponent: Value:

Evaluate: – 3 2 a) 9 b) –6 c) 6 d)  9

Evaluate: – 3 2 a) 9 b) –6 c) 6 d)  9

Evaluate: a) -93 b) 15 c) 105 d) None of the above

Evaluate: a) -93 b) 15 c) 105 d) None of the above

Evaluating Exponential Forms with Negative Bases (negative number) even exponent = positive (negative number) odd exponent = negative

When an equation in one variable is solved the answer is a point on a line. Evaluate.

Raising a Quotient to a Power If a and b are real numbers, where b 0 and n is a natural number, then

Observe the pattern…. 1

Zero as an Exponent If a is a real number and then

When an equation in one variable is solved the answer is a point on a line. Evaluate: 1 1 – 1 1

When an equation in one variable is solved the answer is a point on a line. Evaluate: 6 1 – 1 1 – 1 = 0

When an equation in one variable is solved the answer is a point on a line. Evaluate: Indeterminate -6x 2

Observe the pattern…. Negative exponents are POSITIONAL only!!!

If a is a real number, where a 0 and n is a natural number, then Exponents must be positive before you can evaluate!!!

When an equation in one variable is solved the answer is a point on a line. Simplify:

Negative exponents are POSITIONAL only!!!

If a is a real number, where a 0 and n is a natural number, then

When an equation in one variable is solved the answer is a point on a line. Simplify:
