Math Vocabulary exponent: The tiny number [raised to the upper right] of a base number – means the number of times to multiply base number: The regular sized number [listed first] that is multiplied with itself (however many times the exponent lists) power: Made of two parts – a base number AND an exponent
Writing with Exponents Exponents describe “how many” times a base # is written… (5)(5)(5) = 2 • 2 • 2 • 2 • 2 =
Simplifying Exponents When simplifying… 1) determine how many times to write the base # 2) multiply the base # problem 4²= 3³= 2¹= 5º = 1⁵ = 10⁹ =
Simplifying WITH Exponents When simplifying problems that INCLUDE exponents, we use… *PEMDAS* 3 + 2³ 3³÷ (3)² 3(5)² - (6 + 1)
Practice Write using exponents • (3)(3)(3)(3) • 4 • 4 • 4 Simplify • 6² • (2 • 5) + 4 • (3)³ • 10⁵
