EXPONENTS
Exponents represents a mathematical shorthand that tells how many times a
number is multiplied by itself.
![Page 4: Exponents. What we want is to see the child in pursuit of knowledge, and not knowledge in pursuit of the child. George Bernard Shaw.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062803/56649f465503460f94c685e6/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Exponents Understanding exponents is important
because this shorthand is used throughout subsequent mathematics courses. It appears often in formulas used in science, business, statistics, and geometry.

Rules of Exponents
Exponents come with their own set of rules
Rules follow a natural emerging pattern

The factors of a power, such as 74, can be grouped in different ways. Notice the relationship of the exponents in each product.
7 × 7 × 7 × 7 = 74
(7 × 7 × 7) × 7 = 73 × 71 = 74
(7 × 7) × (7 × 7) = 72 × 72 = 74

ORDER OF OPERATIONS
How to do a math problem with more than one operation in
the correct order.

Order of Operations Problem: Evaluate the following arithmetic
expression:
3 + 4 x 2
Solution: Student 1 3 + 4 x 2
= 7 x 2 = 14
Student 2 3 + 4 x 2 3 + 8 11

Order of Operations It seems that each student interpreted the
problem differently, resulting in two different answers. Student 1 performed the operation of addition
first, then multiplication Student 2 performed multiplication first, then
addition.

Order of Operations
When performing arithmetic operations there can be only one correct answer. We need a set of rules in order to avoid this kind of confusion. Mathematicians have devised a standard order of operations for calculations involving more than one arithmetic operation.
![Page 30: Exponents. What we want is to see the child in pursuit of knowledge, and not knowledge in pursuit of the child. George Bernard Shaw.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062803/56649f465503460f94c685e6/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Order of Operations
Rule 1: First perform any calculations inside parentheses.
Rule 2: Next perform all multiplications and divisions, working from left to right.
Rule 3: Lastly, perform all additions and subtractions, working from left to right.

Fractions
Evaluate the arithmetic expression below:
This problem includes a fraction bar, which means we must divide the numerator by the denominator. However, we must first perform all calculations above and below the fraction bar BEFORE dividing.
The fraction bar can act as a grouping symbol

When evaluating arithmetic expressions, the order of operations is:
•Simplify all operations inside parentheses. •Perform all multiplications and divisions, working from left to right. •Perform all additions and subtractions, working
from left to right. If a problem includes a fraction bar, perform all calculations above and below the fraction bar before dividing the numerator by the denominator.
