This week in math 10 we learned integral exponents and scientific notation. I think that the integral exponents were the most important this week so here is how to do them.

So here is an example (-2a^3) ^-3 x 3a^12

First, do what’s in brackets on the right side and add the ^-3 to the 2, and then change a^3 to a^-3

Then you want to change it into a fraction

Do the powers again and then you should have -1/8a^-9 x 3a^12

Multiply the equation to get the answer 3/8 a^3
