Write and evaluate numerical expressions involving whole-number exponents.
What you'll learn
- Identify the base and exponent in an expression written in exponential form and state what each represents.
- Translate a repeated-multiplication expression into exponential notation (e.g., 7 x 7 x 7 x 7 = 7^4).
- Translate an exponential expression into repeated multiplication and evaluate it (e.g., 4^3 = 4 x 4 x 4 = 64).
- Use the terms "squared" and "cubed" correctly and connect them to area and volume models.
- State and apply the special cases: any base to the first power equals itself; any nonzero base to the zero power equals 1.
