Georgia Math 8 Unit 5 (23-24): Exponents & SN GMAS Review

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 × 2 × 2.

Front

What does the expression 5^0 equal?

Back

Any non-zero number raised to the power of 0 equals 1. Therefore, 5^0 = 1.

Front

How do you multiply two numbers with the same base?

Back

When multiplying two numbers with the same base, you add the exponents. For example, a^m × a^n = a^(m+n).

Front

What is the value of 3^2?

Back

3^2 = 3 × 3 = 9.

Front

What is the rule for dividing exponents with the same base?

Back

When dividing exponents with the same base, you subtract the exponents. For example, a^m ÷ a^n = a^(m-n).

Front

What does (2^3)^2 equal?

Back

When raising a power to another power, you multiply the exponents. Therefore, (2^3)^2 = 2^(3*2) = 2^6 = 64.

Front

What is the value of 10^3?

Back

10^3 = 10 × 10 × 10 = 1000.

Front

What is the product of 4^2 and 4^3?

Back

4^2 × 4^3 = 4^(2+3) = 4^5 = 1024.

Front

What is the value of 1^n for any integer n?

Back

1^n = 1 for any integer n.

Front

What is the value of 0^n for any positive integer n?

Back

0^n = 0 for any positive integer n.
