Week 3 in Math 10

This week in math 10 I learned that the order you use the exponent laws in an equation does not matter. You can use the zero law first, then the division law, the multiplication law, and lastly the power of a power of a power law or you could mix it up and do it another way, but any order you use the laws in you should still get the same answer.

I prefer to solve everything in the brackets first, so I use the zero law (if it applies), then the division law, the multiplication law, and the power of a power law. That way the numbers you’re working with are smaller and easier to work with.

For example:
