Exponents and
SquaresNumbers and Operations
Exponents and Powers
• Power – the result of raising a base to an exponent. Ex. 32
• Base – the number being raised to the exponent. Ex. 32
3 is the base
• Exponent – the number the base is being raised to. Ex. 32
2 is the exponent
Squares and Cubes
3
3The area of the square is 3 x 3, or 32 , or 3 squared
3
33
The area of the cube is 3 x 3 x 3 or 33 , or 3 cubed
Guided Practice
• 1. Find 6 squared
• 2. Find 72
• 3. Find 5 cubed
• 4. Find 23
Student Practice• Simplify the following expressions. Write
your answer in expanded and standard notations.
1) 33
2) 23
3) 32
4) 52
5) 210
Square Roots
• Square root – a number which multiplied by itself, gives you the original number. Example: 4 × 4 = 16, so the square root of 16 is 4.
• Perfect square – a number whose square root is a whole number. Example 9 = 3 x 3

Rules of Exponents
• 1. When you multiply two terms with the same base, you ADD the exponents.
• 2. When you have an exponent expression that is raised to a power, you can multiply the exponent and power:
• 3. When you have anything to the power zero it is just "1"
( x m ) ( x n ) = x( m + n )
( xm ) n = x m n
x0 = 1
Exponents and Grouping Symbols
• To evaluate powers involving grouping symbols:
• (ab)2 = (ab)(ab) = a x a x b x b = a2b2
• The power is applied to each value within the parenthesis.
• (This applies only when there is one term in parenthesis raised to a power)
