Laws of Exponents and Scientific Notations

Question 1

What is the answer of a negative number with an odd power?

Answer 1

It has a negative value

Question 2

What is the answer of a negative number with an even power?

Answer 2

It has a positive value

Question 3

What are the laws of exponents?

Answer 3

1) Product:
- Same bases different powers: a^m x a^ n = a^m+n
-Same powers different bases: a^n x b^n = (a x b)^n
2) Quotient:
- Same bases different powers: a^m / a^ n = a^m-n
-Same powers different bases: a^n / b^n = (a / b)^n
3) Power: (a^m)^n = a^mxn

Question 4

What is the answer of a^0?

Answer 4

1

Question 5

What is the answer of a^-n?

Answer 5

1 / a^n

Question 6

What is the standard form of scientific notation?

Answer 6

a x 10^n

Question 7

What do you do when multiplying or dividing scientific notation?

Answer 7

You take the numbers to one side and the 10^n to another side.

Question 8

What do you do when adding or subtracting scientific notation?

Answer 8

You make sure that both sides have the same power.
