How To: 1. Look at the exponent
2. Multiply the main number by itself the amount of times the exponent says
Example:
5³
That is 5 to the 3rd power.
So:
5x5=25
25x5=
125
Definition: A simpler form of a repeated number being multiplied; the
number that tells how many times a base is to be used as a factor.
Summary: Exponets are the same as repeated multiplication expressions or problems, just in a simpler form.
Steps: 1. Simplify your problem to expanded form (2 to the fourth power = 2x2x2x2)
2. Multiply your equation until you get your answer (2x2=4, 2x4=8, 2x8= 16 )
Easy Problems
*3² = 9
*7²= 49
Medium Problems *Simplify 7³ Answer: 343
*5³= 125
Hard Problems
What is 93³ Answer: 804,357
