Modeling Exponentials
1. The figures above represent Base-10 blocks. The smallest one is a single block. The long blockis made of ten smaller blocks. The flat block is ten rows of ten or 100 small blocks. How many smallblocks are in the big cube? __________
A manufacturer makes these types of blocks, but not always with ten on a side. When orders come in,his order blank looks like this with x representing the length of the long block.
x 1 x x2 x3 Cost
2 ______ _______ ______ ______ ______
3 ______ _______ ______ ______ ______
4 ______ _______ ______ ______ ______
5 ______ _______ ______ ______ ______
10 ______ _______ ______ ______ ______
This way, buyers can choose the size of block they want, and how many of each shape they need.
Each single block costs $0.01.
2. If x = 2, sketch the different blocks below:
Single Long = x Flat = x2 Big Cube = x3.
3. What will be the cost of a long block and a flat (x + x 2)?
4. Will the cost of x + x2 = x3? Explain.

5. If x = 3, find the cost of each type of block.
Single Long = x Flat = x2 Big Cube = x3.
6. What will be the cost of a two long blocks? (x + x or 2x)
7. Will the cost of x + x = x 2? Explain.
8. When x = 4, find the cost of 3x2 + 2x3.
9. When x = 5, find the cost of 10x + x 3.
10. For which size block will 5x2 = x3?
11. For which size block will 2x = x2?
12. Can you think of a block size where x = x2 = x3?

3. Now the Humongons are unhappy. How about 1/2 of our comets and 1/3 of your stars?How many of each is this?
4. One ambassador suggests to use 6 stars and 6 comets. What fraction of the stars is this?What fraction of the comets?
5. It is finally decided that 1/4 of the stars will be used together with 3/10 of the comets.How many of each is this?
