  2. Objective Evaluate expressionscontaining exponents.

  3. Vocabulary power base exponent

  4. 3 2 Apower is an expression written with an exponent and a base. 3² is an example of a power. The exponent, 2 tells how many times the base, 3, is used as a factor. The base is the number that is used as a factor.

  5. S S When a number is raised to the third power, we usually say its “cubed.” The of volume of a cube is s s s = s3 is the side length. S S S When a number is raised to the second power, we usually say it is “squared.” The area of a square is ss = s2, is the side length.

  6. 5 5 5 Example 1A: Writing Powers for Geometric Models Write the power represented by the geometric model. The figure is 5 units long, 5 units wide, and 5 units tall. 5  5  5 53 The factor 5 is used 3 times.

  7. Example 1B: Writing Powers for Geometric Models Write the power represented by the geometric model. 6 The figure is 6 units long and 6 units wide. 6 x 6 6 62 The factor 6 is used 2 times.

  8. x x x Check It Out! Example 1 Write the power represented by each geometric model. a. The figure is 2 units long and 2 units wide. 2  2 22 The factor 2 is used 2 times. b. The figure is x units long, x units wide, and x units tall. x  x  x The factor x is used 3 times. x3

  9. There are no easy geometric models for numbers raised to exponents greater than 3, but you can still write them using repeated multiplication or a base and exponent. Reading Exponents Words Multiplication Power Value 3 to the first power 3 31 3 3 to the second power, or 3 squared 32 3  3 9 3 to the third power, or 3 cubed 27 33 3  3  3 34 3 to the fourth power 3  3  3  3 81 3 to the fifth power 3  3  3  3  3 35 243

  10. Caution! In the expression –52, 5 is the base because the negative sign is not in parentheses. In the expression (–2), –2 is the base because of the parentheses.

  11. Example 2: Evaluating Powers Evaluate each expression. A. (–6)3 (–6)(–6)(–6) Use –6 as a factor 3 times. –216 B. –102 Think of a negative sign in front of a power as multiplying by a –1. –1 •10 •10 Find the product of –1 and two 10’s. –100

  12. 2 9 2 9 2 9 2 9 2 9   Use as a factor 2 times. 4 81 = Example 2: Evaluating Powers Evaluate the expression. C.

  13. Check It Out! Example 2 Evaluate each expression. a. (–5)3 (–5)(–5)(–5) Use –5 as a factor 3 times. –125 Think of a negative sign in front of a power as multiplying by –1. b. –62 –1  6  6 Find the product of –1 and two 6’s. –36

  14. 3 4 Use as a factor 3 times. 27 64 Check It Out! Example 2 Evaluate the expression. c.

  15. Example 3: Writing Powers Write each number as a power of the given base. A. 64; base 8 The product of two 8’s is 64. 8 8 82 B. 81; base –3 (–3)(–3)(–3)(–3) The product of four –3’s is 81. (–3)4

  16. Check It Out! Example 3 Write each number as a power of a given base. a. 64; base 4 4  4  4 The product of three 4’s is 64. 43 b. –27; base –3 (–3)(–3)(–3) The product of three (–3)’s is –27. –33

  17. 1 Understand the problem Example 4:Problem-Solving Application In case of a school closing, the PTA president calls 3 families. Each of these families calls 3 other families and so on. How many families will have been called in the 4th round of calls? The answer will be the number of families contacted in the 4th round of calls. List the important information: • The PTA president calls 3 families. • Each family then calls 3 more families.

  18. Make a Plan 2 Example 4 Continued Draw a diagram to show the number of Families called in each round of calls. PTA President 1st round of calls 2nd round of calls

  19. 3 Solve Example 4 Continued Notice that after each round of calls the number of families contacted is a power of 3. 1st round of calls: 1 3 = 3 or 31 families contacted 2nd round of calls: 3 3 = 9 or 32 families contacted 3rd round of calls: 9 3 = 27 or 33 families contacted So, in the 4th round of calls, 34 families will have been contacted. Multiply four 3’s. 34 = 3  3  3  3 = 81 In the fourth round of calls, 81 families will have been contacted.

  20. 4 Look Back Example 4 Continued Drawing a diagram helps you visualize the problem, but the numbers become too large for a diagram. The diagram helps you recognize the pattern of multiplying by 3 so that you can write the number as a power of 3.

  21. Check it Out! Example 4 What if…? How many bacteria will be on the slide after 8 hours? After each hour, the number of bacteria is a power of 2. 28 2  2  2  2  2  2  2  2 Multiply eight 2’s. 256 The product of eight 2’s.
