Exponents and Order of Operations Assessment

Front

What is an exponent?

Back

An exponent is a number that shows how many times to multiply the base number by itself. For example, in 2^3, 2 is the base and 3 is the exponent, meaning 2 x 2 x 2.

What is the value of any non-zero number raised to the power of 0?

Back

The value of any non-zero number raised to the power of 0 is 1.

Front

What is the order of operations in mathematics?

Back

The order of operations is a set of rules that determines the sequence in which calculations are performed. The acronym PEMDAS helps remember the order: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right).

Front

Calculate: 3^2 + 4^2

Back

3^2 + 4^2 = 9 + 16 = 25.

Front

What does 2^4 equal?

Back

2^4 equals 16.

Front

Evaluate: 10 + 45 ÷ 9 - (14 ÷ 2)

Back

10 + 5 - 7 = 8.

Front

What is the result of 5 x (2 + 3^2)?

Back

5 x (2 + 9) = 5 x 11 = 55.

Front

Is 2^5 the same as 2 x 5?

Back

False. 2^5 means 2 multiplied by itself 5 times, which equals 32.

Front

What is the value of 4^0?

Back

The value of 4^0 is 1.

Front

Solve: 2 x (4 + 8 ÷ 4)^2

Back

2 x (4 + 2)^2 = 2 x 6^2 = 2 x 36 = 72.
