1 Properties of Expoets

2 Defiitio Defiitio: Expoet Defiitio of a Expoet For ay coutig umber, b = bbb b N factors of b We refer to b at the power; the th power of b, or b raised to the th power. We call b the base ad the expoet. Slide 2

3 Defiitio Two powers of b have specific ames. We refer to b 2 as the square of b or b squared. We refer to b 3 as the cube of b or b cubed. Clarify Defiitio: Expoet Defiitio of a Expoet For b, we compute b before fidig the opposite. For 2 4, the base is 2, ot 2. If we wat the base 2 Slide 3

4 Calculator Defiitio: Expoet Defiitio of a Expoet Use a graphig calculator to check both computatios To fid 2 4, press ( ) 2 ^ 3 ENTER Slide 4

6 Example Show that b 5 b 3 = b 5. Solutio Properties of Expoets Properties of Expoet Writig b 5 b 3 without expoets, we see that Use calculator to verify by usig various bases ad examiig the table Slide 6

7 Properties of Expoets Solutio Cotiued Properties of Expoet Example Show that b m b = b m+, where m ad are coutig umbers. Slide 7

8 Solutio Properties of Expoets Properties of Expoet Write b m b without expoets: Example Show that c 0. b = c b c, is a coutig umber ad Slide 8

10 Simplifyig Expressios Ivolvig Expoets Property Simplifyig Expressios Ivolvig Expoets A expressio ivolvig expoets is simplified if 1. It icludes o paretheses. 2. Each variable or costat appears as a base as few times as possible. For example, we write x 2 x 4 = x 6 3. Each umerical expressio (such as 7 2 ) has bee calculated, ad each umerical fractio has bee simplified. 4. Each expoet is positive. Slide 10

11 Simplifyig Expressios Ivolvig Expoets Example Simplify. ( 2 3 bc) 1. 2 Simplifyig Expressios Ivolvig Expoets 5 ( 3 4)( 2 2 bc bc ) bc bc bc 4. 16bcd Slide 11

14 Simplifyig Expressios Ivolvig Expoets Warig Simplifyig Expressios Ivolvig Expoets 3b 2 ad (3b) 2 are ot equivalet 3b 2 base is b, ad (3b) 2 base is the 3b Typical error looks like Slide 14

15 Simplifyig Expressios Ivolvig Expoets Zero as a Expoet Itroductio What is the meaig of b 0? The property is to be true for m =, the b b m = b m b 0 1 = = b = b, b 0 b So, a reasoable defiitio of b 0 is 1. Defiitio For b 0, b 0 = 1 Slide 15

16 Simplifyig Expressios Ivolvig Expoets Illustratio Zero as a Expoet 7 0 = 1, ( 3) 0 = 1, ad (ab) 0 = 1, where ab 0 Slide 16

17 Itroductio Negative Expoets Negative Expoets If is a egative iteger, what is the meaig of b? What is the meaig of a egative expoet? If the m property b m = b is true for m = 0, the b 0 1 b 0 = = b = b, b 0 b b So, we would defie b 1 to be. b Slide 17

18 Defiitio If b 0 ad is a coutig umber, the 1 b = b I words: To fid b, take its reciprocal ad switch the sig of the expoet. Illustratio For example Negative Iteger Expoets Negative Expoets = = ad b = 3 9 b Slide 18

19 Itroductio Negative Expoets Negative Expoets 1 We write i aother form, where b 0 ad is a b coutig umber: Slide 19

20 Defiitio Negative Expoets Negative Expoets If b 0 ad is a coutig umber, the 1 = b b I words: To fid 1, take its reciprocal ad switch t he sig of the expoet. b Example 4 8 For example, 1 1 = 28 = 16 ad = b b Slide 20
