EXPONENTS Definition Negative Exponents Multiplication of Exponents Dividing Exponents Raising Exponents Add & subtract Exponents Base of 10 rule Scientific Notation

WHAT ARE EXPONENTS? Exponents are equations where a base number is multiplied by itself a number of times designated by the superscript also known as power or index. Base Power

Now what happens if I open up a can of worms and have you perform the previous exponent lessons with multiple bases?

MANIPULATING EXPONENTS WITH DIFFERENT BASES 1.Expand each base and its corresponding exponent. 2.Add, subtract, multiply or divide the two numbers. (4 x 4 x4) + (2 x 2 x 2) Step 1 Step 2

POWER OF ZERO? Law of exponents states any base raised to the power of zero is equal to 1

EXPONENTS WITH BASE OF 10

SCIENTIFIC NOTATION By using the law of exponents with base of 10 we can simplify numbers in standard notation that are large or small.
