1. POWERS

Power is n times This is where the small by itself. is called BASE and is an exponent. It tells us how many times we must multiply the factor is called INDEX or EXPONENT..

A. OPERATING WITH POWERS Remember the rules of operation with the same base: . Ex: 1) Multiplying: 2) Dividing: 3) . Ex: 4) . Ex: exponent is the same: 1) 2) B. If the base is not the same but the Multiplying: Division: . Ex: . Ex: Power with an index 0 or 1: ; . Ex: The power of a power:

IF THE BASE IS NEGATIVE. If the base of a power is negative, we must look at the exponent: If the exponent is even, the answer is positive. For example: negative. For example: If the exponent is odd, the answer is

C.

IF THE BASE IS A FRACTION. If the base of a power is a fraction, we must multiply the fraction by itself the number of times that the exponent tells us:

n times
So we have a power in the numerator and a power in the denominator:

n times

D.

IF THE EXPONENT IS NEGATIVE. When the exponent is negative, we must consider the inverse. We must put the power on the bottom with the positive exponent.

For example:

E.

IF THE BASE IS 10 10 to the power of the answer is: is one bellow

n times
zeros. For example: . If the exponent is negative,

n times
2. ROOTS.

A.- SQUARED ROOT. In this unit we are going to work with squared roots. The definition of squared root is For example: Numbers with squared roots are natural numbers called Perfect squares All of them are the square of whole numbers. For example: 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, Remember that we can obtain the squared root of a number by approximation, like the following:

So If the Number inside the root (whats is its name?) is a fraction, we have to calculate the squared root of the numerator and the squared root of the denominator.

B.- ROOT WITH INDEX The number inside the root is the root of index of a number to which the power of is equal to.

for example We are not going to go deeper with this.
