a number written asa base number with an exponent BASE EXPONENT

LIKE THIS:

2 SAY 2 TO THE 5th POWER

Page 4: Exponents and power

THE REPEATED FRACTION IN A MULTIPLICATON PROBLEM

BASE = POWER

FACTOR * FACTOR * FACTOR = PRODUCT 2 * 2 * 2 = 8

Page 5: Exponents and power

THE NUMBER OF TIMES BASE IS MULTIPLIED BY ITSELF

2

2{1st time} * 2{2nd time} * 2{3rd time} =40

2 SAY 2 TO THE 2nd POWER OR

TWO SQUARED

MOST MATHEMATICIAN SAY TWO

SQUARED

2 = 2 2 = 4

Page 9: Exponents and power

2 SAY 2 TO THE 3rd POWER OR

TWO CUBED

MOST MATHEMATICIANS SAY

TWO CUBED

2 = 2 2 2 =8

Page 10: Exponents and power

THE BASE IS ANY NUMBER BUT 0,THE ANSWER IS 1.

2 =1

4,638 =1 ANY NUMBER {except the number 0} =1

0 =UNDEFINED

Page 11: Exponents and power

THE ANSWER IS THE SAME NUMBER AS THE BASE NUMBER

2 =24,638 =4,638

ANY NUMBER =THE SAME BASE0 =0

THE EXPONENT 1 IS USUALY INVISIBLE
