What I learned in math this week

This week in math!

This week we started to learn about the exponent laws as part of our Powers and Exponents units as well as how to write some basic latex code for division symbols, exponents and much more.

To demonstrate I can write:   9\div{4.5}  instead of writing 9/4.5.

Some of the laws we learned were:

When multiplying powers with the same base, you add the exponents.

4^3 + 4^5= 4^8

 

To raise a power to a power, multiply the exponents.

(3^3)5= 3^{15}

 

When the exponent of a power is zero, the value of the power is 1 (as long as the base is not zero).

6^7\div6^7= 1

 

When you have a power of a product, you can re-write each factor in the product with the same exponent

(8\cdot4)^{12}= 8^{12}\cdot4^{12}

 

To conclude, this week I learned many things that will help me later on in this unit, this year and possibly even in the rest my life.

  1. The LaTeX coding looks good Jesse! Just make sure to preview your post because sometimes the math expressions don’t show up the way we would like.
    For example.. the power to a power example.
