3 Exponential Notation

This document defines exponential notation and how to write expressions using it. It explains that the exponent tells how many times the base is used as a factor and the power is the product of those factors. Examples are given of writing expressions in exponential and expanded notation and evaluating them. The objectives are to define base, exponent, and power, write expressions in exponential notation, and evaluate expressions with exponents.

MATHEMATICS

Exponential Notation
Objectives:

1. Define the following:


a. base
b. exponent
c. power;
2. Write a series of equal factors in exponential notation;
and
3. Evaluate the given numerical expressions with
exponents.
EXPONENTIAL NOTATION

Speaking mathematically,

is read as “a squared”
is read as “a cubed”
is read as “a to the fourth power” or
“a to the fourth”

As you have seen in the example, the exponent is used to
abbreviate repeated multiplication.
EXPONENTIAL NOTATION
= 729 Base- gives the number that is being multiplied.
The base is 9. Exponent- tells you how many times the base is
used as a factor.
The exponent is 3. Power- is the product of equal factors
The power is 729.
