What I Learned- Chapter 2
In Chapter 2, I learned all about exponents 🙂Â
In the first lesson I learned all about powers with whole number exponents, and what the base, exponent and index is.
In lesson two, I learned about the exponent laws. When multiplying exponents (with same base), add the exponents together. When there is a power raised to a power, multiply the exponents. And when dividing powers, subtract the exponents.
Lesson three, I learned about Integral exponents. When a base is raised to a negative exponent, you transfer the negative exponents into a fraction with a positive exponent.
The next lesson we did was lesson five, which taught us about rational exponents. We learned about fractions in radical form and methods on how to evaluate and simplify them. We continued this learning into lesson six, where we took bases raised to fraction exponents and wrote them in radical form, and simplified.
