Vocabulary exponential form exponent base power
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 33 represent the same power. Exponent Base 7 2
4 • 4 • 4 • 4 = 44 Reading Math Read –(63) as “negative 6 to the 3rd power” or “negative 6 cubed”. Additional Example 1: Writing Exponents Write in exponential form. A. 4 • 4 • 4 • 4 Identify how many times 4 is a factor. B. (–6) • (–6) • (–6) Identify how many times –6 is a factor. (–6) • (–6) • (–6) = (–6)3
C. (–4)4 (–4)4 = (–4) • (–4) • (–4)• (–4) D. Additional Example 2: Simplifying Powers Simplify. Find the product of four –4’s. = 256 Find the product of eight 1/2’s.
A. 74 B. (–9)3 (–9)3 = (–9) • (–9) • (–9) Check It Out: Example 2 Simplify. Find the product of four 7’s. 74 = 7 • 7 • 7 • 7 = 2401 Find the product of three –9’s. = –729
C. –(5)2 –(5)2 = –(5) • (5) D. 97 Check It Out: Example 2 Simplify. Find the product of two 5’s and then make the answer negative. = –25 Find the product of seven 9’s. 97 = 9 • 9 • 9 • 9 • 9 • 9 • 9 = 4,782,969
