  1. PROPERTIES of EXPONENTS

  2. Location of Exponent • An exponent is a little number high and to the right of a regular or base number. Exponent 3 4 Base

  3. Definition of Exponent • An exponent tells how many times a number is multiplied by itself. Exponent 3 4 Base

  4. What an Exponent Represents • An exponent tells how many times a number is multiplied by itself. 4 = 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 3

  5. How to read an Exponent • This exponent is read three to the fourth power. Exponent 3 4 Base

  6. Properties

  7. MULTIPLYING POWERS WITH THE SAME BASE Numbers Algebra Words To multiply powers with the same base, keep the base and add the exponents. bm • bn = bm + n 35 • 38 = 35 + 8 = 313

  9. Multiplying Power of a Power Numbers Algebra Words To multiply power of a power, keep the base and multiply the exponents. (pr)s = pr •s NOTE: Multiply the exponents, not add them!

  11. Power of a Product (a · b)ᴹ = aᴹ · bᴹ To raise a product to a power, raise each factor to the power Example (5 · 7)² = 5² · 7² (4x)³ = 4³ · x³
