Exponents Elementary Algebra
Multiplication = short-cut addition • Instead of adding 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 10
Multiplication = short-cut addition • Instead of adding 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 10 • Multiply 2 x 5 = 10
Exponents = short-cut multiplication • Instead of multiplying 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 32
Exponents = short-cut multiplication • Instead of multiplying 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 32 • Use the exponent
Exponents = short-cut multiplication Say 2 to the 5th power
