Use the table to guide your thinking when answering the following questions:
Why do we have exponents? How aer they useful? What general affects do exponents have?

Answer:

  • simplify the promblem "Shorten the promblem"

  • used for volume and area

  • general effects:

  • make numbers grow rapidly. Thats why we use them

  • also an efficient way to communicate


Something to note: Dustin Short- he can tutor you Friday after school for those who need it in this class, it costs $10.00



Evaluate if a=2 b=4 c=-3

1. ac to the 3rd power = 37

2. 3a + b to the third power = 70
