Exploring Rational Numbers-Nonzero Integer Exponents Evaluate each expression for the given values of the variables. 1.x 3y 2for x = –1 and y = 10 2. for x = 4 and y = (–7) Write each number as a power of the given base. 3. 64; base 4 Launch
You have seen positive exponents. Recall that to simplify 32, use 3 as a factor 2 times: 32 = 3 3 = 9. But what does it mean for an exponent to be negative or 0? You can use a table and look for a pattern to make a conjecture. DECLINE
Reasoning Strategies-Using Patterns. The pattern in the t-graph will help you evaluate powers with nonzero integer exponents. Explore
Note: the phrase “nonzero number” in the previous table. This is because 00 and 0 raised to a negative power are both undefined. For example, if you use the pattern given above in the table with a base of 0, you would get 00 = . Also, 0–6 would be = . Since division by 0 is undefined, neither value exists. RECALL: Any nonzero number raised to the zero power is 1. Skills & Vocabulary
One cup is 2–4 gallons. Simplify this expression. A sand fly may have a wingspan up to 5–3 m. One cup is equal to gal. A sand fly may have a wingspan of m. A square foot is 3–2 square yards. Simplify this expression. One square foot is equal to______ square yards. Real-life Connections
