Multiplying Exponents You can do this ! ! Lessonby Jessica Jimenez
The Basics Exponent 4 7 Base
The exponent of a number shows you how many times the base is to be multiplied. 4 7 = 7 * 7 * 7 * 7 = 2,401
Multiplying Exponents when you have the same base you add the exponents. This is called the PRODUCT OF POWERS PROPERTY m m+n a * a = a n
Multiplying exponents 4 2 7 * 7 ( 7 * 7 * 7 * 7) * ( 7 * 7 ) = 7 6 long way
Multiplying exponents using Product of Powers Property 7 * 7 4 2 4 4 + 2 6 2 7 * 7 = 7 = 7 SHORTCUT
You try it now Negative exponents – do the same thing! 1) 3 * 3 2) X * X 3) 5 * 5 5 3 7 2 8 -5
Answers 3 = 3 X = X 3) 5 = 5 5+3 8 7+2 9 -5+8 3
