1.1 Powers and Exponents

Using exponents is a power-ful method used to simplify the way we show repeated

multiplication.

For example, instead of writing the repeated multiplication:

5 x 5 x 5 x 5 x 5 x 5 x 5 x 5 x 5 x 5 x 5 x 5 x 53

Mathematicians simplify the writing of 5 multiplied by itself 13 times as:

513

For the power 513

the 5 is call the base number or base and the 13 is called the exponent.

The base number is the number being multiplied and the exponent is the number of times it

is multiplied. The number is “read 5 to the thirteenth power” or “the thirteenth power of 5.”

QUESTION:

How do we write 7 x 7 x 7 x 7 x 7 x 7 x 7 x 7 x 7 x 7 x 7 x 7 x 7 x 7 x 7 as a power?

Answer:

“7 to the fifteenth power”

715 715 means multiply 7

by itself 15 times.

It is read, “7 to the

15th power” or the

“15th power of 7.”

The Specials

Squares ( 2 ) and Cubes ( 3 ) - Special Names for Special Powers. Powers having exponents of 2 and 3 are special since they appear often in mathematics

and in geometric representations. For these reasons they have special names. The

special name for powers with exponent 2 is “squared”. The special name for powers

with an exponent of 3 is “cubed”. .

92, can be read “9 squared.”

113 can be read “11 cubed.”

3 – Like Terms !

3.1 “Like” Things

It is important to know about and be able to recognize “like” things.

Consider the following examples of “Like” things:

Examples of Like Things Why?

Like Units 9 mm, 12 mm, 1.4 mm, 1,023 mm All are in mm’s

Like Fractions , , , , ,

Like Signed

Numbers -4, -12, -109.4, -7! , -1,012, -99 Like Fruit 1 apple, 7 apples, 10" apples, 58 apples

Consider the following examples of “UnLike” things

Examples of “UnLike” Things

UnLike Fractions , , ,

UnLike Units 8 m, 8 cm, 1.9 inches, 50 yds,

UnLike Signed Numbers -8, +12

UnLike Fruit 3 oranges, 5 pears, 1" peaches

How are Like Things Combined? Some Examples Like things can be combined easily. UnLike can not be combined easily

4 figs + 11 figs = 15 figs

+ = 9 in2 - 5in2 = 4 in2 (-8) + (-11) = (-19)

7 apples + 3 prunes = ?

UnLike + = ?

UnLike

4 m2 - 5 in = ?

UnLike (-2) - (+11) = ?

UnLike

For the following, combine if they are “Like” things. If not, write UnLike.

3 4 ft + 15 ft + 3 ft = 4 10 cm3 – 4 mm2 =

3.2 Understanding Like Terms

What is a term?

In algebra, a term is an expression that is a number, a variable, or the product of a

number and one or more variables.

" The expression 10Q is a term.

" The expression 5A + 9B has two terms.

" The expression 4x + 12 also has two terms.

" The expression x2 – 3y5 + 8z has three terms.

" The expression a + b + c + d + e + f + g + h has eight terms.

" The expression 8xyz2 also has only one term.

How many terms does each of expressions have?

5x + 7y + 8M Answer: eerht

6b Answer: eno

x2 + L + 3Z – 14 + x2 Answer: evif

d + e – f + g + h + j + k – m – n Answer: enin

ab2 – 3ab2 ? Answer: owt

7abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz? Answer: eno

What are Like terms?

“Like terms” have exactly the same variables, and if there are powers, exactly the same

exponents. You will see later that “like terms” can be combined to form a single term.

What are unLike terms?

“Unlike terms” are terms that have different variables or different exponents. The variables

and exponents are not exactly the same. You will see later that “Unlike terms” can not,

should not and must not, be combined. Don#t even think about combining them!

Examples of Like Terms Examples of UnLike Terms

7M and 3M are like terms. 6B and 3Y are NOT like terms.

10ab and 12ab are like terms. 9de and 8ef are NOT like terms.

y5 and 3y5 are like terms. 2x6 and 2x5 are NOT like terms.

3.3 Combining Like Terms.

In Algebra, adding or subtracting expressions to form a new simpler expression is called

combining. On the previous page, we saw that 3 ziggles + 4 ziggles = 7 ziggles. We

combined the ziggles to get a simpler expression. In algebra this is called combining

like terms and can be shown as:

3z + 4z

7z

Note: The Multiplicative Identity (aka 1).

1 x 5 = ?

1 x 2,333,789 = ?

1 x A =

Because 1 multiplied by any number always equals the identical number ----

1 is the Multiplicative Identity .

Example of

combining like

terms

Does that mean when I see an X,

it’s the same as 1X?

DUH, of course!

X = 1X

by an addition or subtraction of two or more numbers multiiply each of the

numbers being added/subtracted by that number and remove the parentheses.

Then write as an addition/subtraction of the resulting numbers.

are as follows:

The Counting numbers are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, … (and so on).

Add a zero (0) to this system and you get the “whole numbers”.

adds up to +5?

Yep. Just regroup,

add the like signs

and then add the

results.

Consider this expression: +1 +

—2 + 3 +

—76

In Algebra, this expression is a called an “addition string” of integers (signed

numbers). It can be written without the RAISED positive and negative signs like

this.

61 – 2 + 3 – 76

Solution:

1 – 2 + 3 – 7 =

4 – 9 = –5

Do we do it

the same way

as before?

Yes. Combine

the like signs

and then

“poof” away.

the signs being multiplied, can you tell

the sign of the answer?

Do you mean, what is the sign of the

result if you multiply, say, + by –?

Exactly. So does, (+)(–)

equal + or –?

Can I look at the
