4-1 Exponents Repeated Multiplication or Division Using Bases and Exponents
2
4-1 Exponents Vocabulary/Essential Question EQ: How can we perform repeated multiplication and division in a shortened form? exponential form exponent base power
3
4-1 Exponents If a number is in exponential form, the exponent represents how many times the base is to be used as a factor. A number produced by raising a base to an exponent is called a power. Both 27 and 3 3 represent the same power. 7 Exponent Base 2

4-1 Exponents. Simple exponent examples
5
4-3 Properties of Exponents The factors of a power, such as 7 4, can be grouped in different ways. Notice the relationship of the exponents in each product. 7 7 7 7 = 7 4 (7 7 7) 7 = 7 3 7 1 = 7 4 (7 7) (7 7) = 7 2 7 2 = 7 4
6
4-1 Exponents Identify how many times 4 is a factor. 4 4 4 4 = 4 4 Write in exponential form. Additional Example 1: Writing Exponents A. 4 4 4 4 Read –(6 3 ) as “negative 6 to the 3rd power” or “negative 6 cubed”. Reading Math Identify how many times –6 is a factor. (–6) (–6) (–6) = (–6) 3 B. (–6) (–6) (–6)
7
4-1 Exponents Identify how many times 5 and d are used as a factor. Additional Example 1: Writing Exponents C. 5 5 d d d d Write in exponential form. 5 5 d d d d = 5 2 d 4
8
