Answer» Answer ⤵️• Exponents are used to express large numbers in shorter form to make them easy to read, understand, compare and operate upon. • a × a × a × a = a4 (read as ‘a’ raised to the exponent 4 or the fourth power of a), where ‘a’ is the base and 4 is the exponent and a4 is called the exponential form. a × a × a × a is called the expanded form. • For any non-zero integers ‘a’ and ‘b’ and WHOLE numbers m and n, (i) am × an = am+n (ii) am ÷ an = am–n , m>n (iii) (am) n = amn m (v) am ÷ bm = m a b (vi) a0 = 1 (vii) (–1)EVEN number = 1 (viii) (–1)odd number = –1 • Any number can be expressed as a decimal number between 1.0 and 10.0 (including 1.0) multiplied by a power of 10. Such form of a number is called its standard form or scientific notation. |
