Laws Of Exponent With Examples

 

Introduction:

Consider a number Zn .Zn reads as the nth power of Z. Or Z raised to the power n. Here Z is base whereas n is exponent, power, or order. Or simply exponent is repeated multiplication. 

Law 1: Multiplication of two terms with identical bases:

To multiply two numbers having identical bases, simply add the exponents whereas base remains the same.


Zm.Zn = Zm+n


Examples:


23.26 = 29

Law 2: Multiplication of two terms with identical exponents:

To multiply two numbers  having identical exponents but different bases, multiply the bases whereas exponent remains the same. We can write them as follows. Let's do some examples.


Zm.Ym =  (Z.Y)m


Examples:


23.33 = (2*3)3


Law 3: Division of two terms with identical bases:

To divide two numbers having identical bases, subtract the powers whereas the base remains the same.


Zm/Zn = Zm-n


Examples:


55/53 = (5)5-3

Law 4: Division of two terms with different bases and identical exponent:


To divide two numbers having identical exponents but different bases, we can write them as follows.  


Zm/Ym = (Z/Y)m

Law 5: A term with two or more exponents (power of power):


When two or more exponents are there, or one power raised to another power, then simply multiply the exponents whereas base remains the same.


(Zm)n = Zm*n


Examples:

(32)3 = 32 x 32 x 32 = 32+2+2 = 36

(32)3 = 32*3 = 36

Law 6: Base with exponent is 1

Whenever exponent is 1, base remains the same.


Z1 = Z


Examples:

21 = 2

31 = 3

Law 7: Base with exponent is 0

Whenever exponent is 0, the answer will be 1.


Z0 = 1


Examples:

  1. 30 = 1


  1. (31/31) = 31-1 = 0

Law 8: negative exponent:


Numbers with positive exponents means repeated multiplication whereas numbers with negative exponents means repeated division. Let's do some examples.


Z-m = 1/Zm


Examples:


Z-2 = 1/Z2


Test:

  1. 25.35 = 55

  2. 3x2 . 2x3 

= (3.2)*(x2+3)

  1. 3.x.y.x2.y3.5

= (3.5)(x.x2)(y.y3)

= 15 x3.y4

  1. (x-9.y4.z-1) ÷ (x-7.y2.z-4)

           = x-9+7 . y4-2 . z-1+4

           = x-2 . y2 . z3

  1. 52.(53)2 ÷ 52

= 52. 56 ÷ 52

= 52. 56-2

= 52. 54

= 52-4

= (⅕)2

  1. (5/15)-2

= (⅓)-2

= 32

Sorting Concept For Kids

Image
Sorting for kindergarten| Sorting for kids Sorting Concept For Kids Let's move forward. The next step in conceptual learning is sorting . Fundamental mathematical concepts not only include numbers, addition and subtraction. But it includes much more! Sorting is one of the important building blocks in logical and numerical analysis. Studies have shown that kids involved in sorting and contrasting activities do better in mathematics later on. Sorting means to group things on the basis of their similar attribute.  Why sorting? It develops the ability to judge, compare, arrange, critical thinking, logical reasoning etc. It is a simple activity which forms the foundation of higher mathematical concepts. If there are beads, pennies, toffees, toy-blocks etc. Ask your kid to sort out and find out what he will do? He will definitely develop the abilities to compare, organized thoughts, arrangement and order etc.  I have endless ideas about sorting out different ...
