Equations with Exponents

Front

What is an exponent?

Back

An exponent is a number that indicates how many times to multiply the base by itself. For example, in 2^3, 2 is the base and 3 is the exponent, meaning 2 is multiplied by itself 3 times (2 * 2 * 2 = 8).

What is the value of 3^0?

Back

1 (Any non-zero number raised to the power of 0 is 1.)

4

Front

What is the value of 5^0?

Back

1 (Any non-zero number raised to the power of 0 is 1.)

Front

What does it mean to square a number?

Back

To square a number means to raise it to the power of 2. For example, 3 squared (3^2) is 3 * 3 = 9.

Front

What is the product of 2^2 and 2^3?

Back

2^(2+3) = 2^5 = 32 (When multiplying like bases, add the exponents.)

Front

What is the quotient of 2^5 and 2^2?

Back

2^(5-2) = 2^3 = 8 (When dividing like bases, subtract the exponents.)

Front

What is the value of (3^2)^2?

Back

3^(2*2) = 3^4 = 81 (When raising a power to a power, multiply the exponents.)
