List Of Exponents Math

Properties of exponents we will show 8 properties of exponents.

List of exponents math. Usually a power is represented with a base number and an exponent. For instance the shorthand for multiplying three copies of the number 5 is shown on the right hand side of the equals sign in 5 5 5 53. Recall that 2 2 2 2 3 we call 2 the base and 3 the exponent. 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 4 2 3.

M bn b n m. The exponent a small number written above and to the right of the base number tells how many times the base number is being multiplied. A n b n a b n. 8 2 could be called 8 to the power 2 or 8 to the second power or simply 8 squared.

Let x and y be numbers that are not equal to zero and let n and m be any integers. The base number tells what number is being multiplied. Exponents are also called powers or indices. 2 3 2 2 3 2 64.

A 0 1 this says that anything raised to the zero power is 1. Exponent tables and patterns there are many interesting patterns to be found in the tables of powers of whole numbers. Bnm b nm 232 2 32 512. A little reminder before we derive these laws of exponents.

2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 3 2 2. Bn m bn m. 2 2 6 2 6 2 8. 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 4.

Exponents are shorthand for repeated multiplication of the same thing by itself. Let us now try to perform the following multiplication. In 8 2 the 2 says to use 8 twice in a multiplication so 8 2 8 8 64. For example 6 to the 5th power may be written as 6 5 here the base number is 6 and the exponent is 5.

In multiplication of exponents if the bases are same then we need to add the exponents. Below is list of rules for exponents and an example or two of using each rule. A sign indicating that the quantities on either side are equal. 3 2 5 in the.

The product rule for exponents states that when we multiply exponential expressions having the same base we can add the exponents and keep the base unchanged. 4 3 2 3 4 2 3 8. The exponent of a number says how many times to use the number in a multiplication. Power rule powers to powers.
