Multiplying Exponents

Take a look at this pattern...

2^2=\left(2\cdot2\right)\ =\ 4

3^4=\left(3\cdot3\cdot3\cdot3\ \right)=\ 81

5^3=\left(5\cdot5\cdot5\right)\ =\ 125

Multiple Choice

Select the correct answer:

$6^3\ =\ \left(\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \right)?$

$3\cdot3\cdot3\cdot3\cdot3\cdot3$

$6\cdot6$

$6\cdot6\cdot6$

Multiple Choice

Complete... (Use your calculator)

$6^3\ =\ \left(6\cdot6\cdot6\right)\ =\ ?$

216

Multiple Choice

Complete:

$2^5\ =\ \left(\ \ \ \ \ \ ?\ \ \ \ \ \ \right)\ =\ ?$

$\left(2\cdot2\right)\ =\ 4$

$\left(2\cdot2\cdot2\cdot2\cdot2\right)=\ 32$

$\left(5\cdot5\right)=25$

We can also multiply exponents of the SAME BASE together. Look at these examples...

$\ \ \ \ \ \ 5^2\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \cdot\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 5^3$
$=5\cdot5\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \cdot\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 5\cdot5\cdot5$

=\ 5\cdot5\cdot5\cdot5\cdot5

Multiple Choice

... and how can we rewrite

$5\cdot5\cdot5\cdot5\cdot5$ ?

$5^3$

$5^2$

$5^5$

Multiple Choice

How can we rewrite the following... ?

$8^{4\ }\cdot\ \ 8^2$

$8\cdot8\cdot8\cdot8\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \cdot\ \ \ \ 8\cdot8$

$8\cdot8\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \cdot\ \ \ \ 8$

$8\cdot8\cdot8\cdot8\cdot8$

Multiple Choice

... and how can we rewrite

$8\cdot8\cdot8\cdot8\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \cdot\ \ \ \ \ \ \ 8\cdot8$ ?

$8^2$

$8^6$

$8^4$

Variable exponents work the same way... Take a look at the pattern... What do you notice?

$x^2=x\cdot x$
$y^5\ =\ y\cdot y\cdot y\cdot y\cdot y$

n^7=\ n\cdot n\cdot n\cdot n\cdot n\cdot n\cdot n

Multiple Choice

Rewrite $e^5$

$e\cdot e$

$e\cdot e\cdot e$

$e\cdot e\cdot e\cdot e\cdot e$

Multiple Choice

rewrite $y\cdot y\cdot y\cdot y\cdot y\cdot y$

$y^3$

$y^9$

$y^6$

Check it out... We can multiply variable exponents the same way as before... $x^3\ \ \ \ \ \ \cdot\ \ \ \ \ \ \ x^2$

=x\cdot x\cdot x\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \cdot\ \ \ \ \ \ x\cdot x

x\cdot x\cdot x\cdot x\cdot x
