Other Important Math Concepts Basic Exponents Exponents are shorthand for repeated multiplication of the same thing by itself. For example: (5)(5)(5) = 5 3 . The "exponent", being 3 in this example, stands for however many times the value is being multiplied. The thing that's being multiplied, being 5 in this example, is called the "base". This process of using exponents is called "raising to a power", where the exponent is the "power". The expression "5 3 " is pronounced as "five, raised to the third power" or "five to the third". There are two specially-named powers: "to the second power" is generally pronounced as "squared", and "to the third power" is generally pronounced as "cubed". So "5 3 " is commonly pronounced as "five cubed". Exponents have a few rules that we can use for simplifying expressions. 1. Simply 10 4 = 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 2. Multiply (x 3 )(x 4 ) = x 7 Whenever you multiply two terms with the same base, you can add the exponents. 3. Divide (x 4 ) ÷ (x 3 ) = x 1 The rule for dividing exponents is to subtract the exponents (4-3 = 1) if you have the same base. NWT Literacy Council 77 77 Simply Math Workbook
