Transcript Exponent

Solve and graph the solution:
–2x + 1 ≥ 5
–1 –1
–2x ≥ 4
–2 –2
x ≤ –2
 Anytime you divide by a negative number,
you need to flip the sign!
Open or Closed ?

 Now we have to graph it on a Number Line
Left or Right ?
CA STANDARDS

MULTIPLYING EXPONENTS
Exponent
What is an exponent?
 Let’s break it down!
3
4
= 3•3•3•3
Base
Base - Tells you what # you multiply.
Exponent - Tells you how many times you
multiply the Base.
Write This!
 Example 1:
Simplify:
4 4  4
8
4

2+4
 12 y
1.) Multiply the numbers in front.
2.) Keep the base number (or variable)
3.) Add the exponents.

 Example 3:
Simplify:
4
25 x
8
5x
 Divide the #’s in front
 Keep the base
 (25  5) x
4–8
 5x
 Subtract the exponents
4
 Can we have a negative exponent?
 You try:
Simplify:
7
32 a
1
8a
 Divide the #’s in front
 Keep the base
 (32  8) a
7–1
 4a

 Subtract the exponents
 Example 4:
PEMDAS
Simplify:
2
7 3
x (3 x )
 x (3 x )
2
1●3 7●3
 x (3 x )

3
 27 x
23
 27x
 Do the exponent first
(Power to Power)
 Keep the base
 Multiply the exponents
