Make a note card showing examples with and without parentheses and with even and odd exponents. Study Tip: Parentheses often make a difference in the answer. Generally, a negative number raised to an odd power will be negative. Generally any number raised to an even power will be positive.Įxplanation: Why are both answers negative?Ī negative times a negative three times is negative. Recall the order of operations: compute exponents before multiplication.Ī negative times a negative four times is positive. The explanation below is for the Tl-30x II S.Įxplanation: Why is -6.2 4 negative while (-6.2) 4 is positive? For other calculators, the exponent key is y x. The exponent key for the Tl-30x II S, the recommended calculator for the course, is ^. Use a calculator to compute the following. Three is the base and five is the exponent.Įxample 2. Write 3 5 using the definition of exponents. Vocabulary : b n means b times itself n times b is called the base and n is called the exponent.Įxample 1. In addition, you will solve problems using the formula for compound interest and tables for demonstrating bacteria growth to illustrate the applications of exponents. In this section, you will define exponents and perform computations with a calculator.
