The exponent of a number says how
many times to use the number in a
multiplication.
In 8^2 the "2" says to use 8 twice in a
multiplication,
so 8^2 = 8 × 8 = 64
Work some…
Write the following in exponential form:
4
x4x4=
9 x 9 x 9 x 9 x 9 x 9 x =
Find the Value:
2^7
6^4
Remember
4^2 is NOT 4 x 2!! It is 4 x 4!!
Replace the letters a, b, and c with the
numbers 3, 4, and 5 to make a true
statement.
2a + 2a = bc
