Example 1: Understanding the Terms Base and Exponent In each exponential expression, identify the base and the exponent. a. 6 2 b. 10 4 6 is the base, and 2 is the exponent. 10 is the base, and 4 is the exponent.

Example 2: Reading Equations Containing Exponential Expressions is read “eight squared is equal to sixty-four” is read “six cubed is equal to two hundred sixteen” is read “five to the fourth power is equal to six hundred twenty-five” a.8 2 = 64 b.6 3 = 216 c.5 4 = 625

Understand the Terms Base and Exponent Common Error Wrong Solution DO NOT multiply the base and the exponent. Correct Solution DO multiply the base by itself.

10 HAWKES LEARNING SYSTEMS Students Matter. Success Counts. Copyright © 2013 by Hawkes Learning Systems/Quant Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. The Exponents 1 and 0 The Exponent 0 For any nonzero number a, a 0 = 1. For example, Note: The expression 0 0 is undefined.

11 HAWKES LEARNING SYSTEMS Students Matter. Success Counts. Copyright © 2013 by Hawkes Learning Systems/Quant Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. The Exponents 1 and 0 Notes To help in understanding the exponent 0, note the following pattern of powers of the base 3: Each value is the previous value divided by 3. In this way defining 3 0 = 1 makes sense. (Try this idea with bases other than 3.)

Example 4: Evaluating Exponential Expressions Evaluate the following exponential expressions. a.9 1 b.8 0 c.15 0 d.10 1 Solution a.9 1 b.8 0 c.15 0 d.10 1 = 9 = 1 = 10

Rules for Order of Operations 1.First, simplify within grouping symbols, such as parentheses ( ), brackets [ ], or braces { }. Start with the innermost group. 2.Second, evaluate any numbers or expressions indicated by exponents. 3.Third, moving from left to right, perform any multiplication or division in the order in which it appears. 4.Fourth, moving from left to right, perform any addition or subtraction in the order in which it appears.

14 HAWKES LEARNING SYSTEMS Students Matter. Success Counts. Copyright © 2013 by Hawkes Learning Systems/Quant Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Know the Rules for Order of Operations Notes Note that in Rule 3, neither multiplication nor division has priority over the other. Whichever of these operations occurs first, moving left to right, is done first. In Rule 4, addition and subtraction are handled in the same way. Unless they occur within grouping symbols, addition and subtraction are the last operations to be performed.

Solution In this example there are no grouping symbols or exponents, so we begin with multiplication and division (left to right). Divide before multiplying in this case. Multiply before adding or subtracting. Add before subtracting in this case. Subtract. 14 ÷ 7 + 3 ⋅ 2 − 5 = 2 + 3 ⋅ 2 − 5 = 2 + 6 − 5 = 3

Example 6: Order of Operations Evaluate (6 + 2) + (8 + 1) ÷ 9. Solution (6 + 2) + (8 + 1) ÷ 9 = 8 + 9  9 = 8 + 1 = 9 Operate within parentheses. Divide. Add.

Example 7: Order of Operations Evaluate 2 ⋅ 3 2 + 18 ÷ 3 2. Solution 2 ⋅ 3 2 + 18 ÷ 3 2 = 2 ⋅ 9 + 18  9 = 18 + 2 = 20 Evaluate the exponents. Multiply and divide. Add.

Solution = 24 + 12 Example 8: Order of Operations 30 ÷ 10 ⋅ 2 3 + 3(6 − 2) = 30 ÷ 10 ⋅ 2 3 + 3 (4) = 30 ÷ 10 ⋅ 8 + 3 (4) = 36 = 3 ⋅ 8 + 3 (4) Operate within parentheses. Evaluate the exponent. Divide. Multiply in each part. Add.

Example 9: Order of Operations Evaluate 2[5 2 + (2 ⋅ 3 2 − 10)]. Solution 2[5 2 + (2 ⋅ 3 2 − 10)] = 2[25 + (2 ⋅ 9 − 10)] = 2[25 + (18 − 10)] = 2[25 + 8] = 2 [33] = 66 Evaluate the exponents. Multiply inside the parentheses. Subtract inside the parentheses. Add inside the brackets. Multiply.
