Test 4 : Exponents



analysis of the results


Recall that  am/bn = am-n  and  am/n  = n th root of ( am )

1) What is 93 / 35 ? ______3___________
      36 / 35 = 3

2) What is 5.50 ?  _____1_______
   anything raised to the 0 is 1.


3) What is 40%  of 251/2 ?  _____2______

     40/100 ( square root of 25 ) = 2/5 * 5 = 2

5) Simplify  (a9 b-5 ) / (b4 a6 )      ____a3 / b9________


6)  What is  (0.001)1/3  ?   _____0.1________

  The cube root of 0.001 is 0.1 because
   0.1 cubed is 0.1 * 0.1 * 0.1 = 0.001.

7)  What is 323/5 ?   _____8_______

   (fifth root of 32) 3 = 23 = 8

8) What is  (47 + 48) / 28 ? _____320________      

    Factor out 47 from the top.
    47 (1+ 4) / 44 = 43 * 5 = 320

9) What is ((½)9 211)-2    ? _____1/16______

     (211 / 29 )-2 = (22)-2 = 2-4 = 1/16

10) Sketch the Graph of y = 2x
   looks the same as all exponential functions. Just the y scaling is different.



My mistake that I forgot problem 4. Sorry.
