4-1 Exponents
Problem of the Day
What two positive integers when
multiplied together also equal the sum
of the same two numbers?
2 and 2
4-1 Exponents
Learn to evaluate expressions with
exponents.
4-1 Exponents
If a number is in exponential form, the
exponent represents how many times the
base is to be used as a factor. A number
produced by raising a base to an exponent
is called a power. Both 27 and 33
represent the same power.

Additional Example 1: Writing Exponents
Write in exponential form.
A. 4 • 4 • 4 • 4
4 • 4 • 4 • 4 = 44
Identify how many
times 4 is a factor.
B. (–6) • (–6) • (–6)
(–6) • (–6) • (–6) =
(–6)3
Identify how many
times –6 is a factor.
Reading Math
Read –(63) as “ negative 6 to the 3rd
power” or “negative 6 cubed”.

Example 1
Write in exponential form.
A. x • x • x • x • x
x • x • x • x • x = x5
Identify how many
times x is a factor.
B. d • d • d
d • d • d = d3
Identify how many
times d is a factor.

Example 1 (Cont...)
Write in exponential form.
C. 7 • 7 • b • b

7•7•b•b=7b
2
Identify how many
times 7 and b are
used as a factor.

Example 2: Simplifying Powers
Simplify.
Find the product of five 3’s.
A. 35
35 = 3 • 3 • 3 • 3 • 3
= 243
B. (–3)5
Find the product of five –3’s.
(–3)5 = (–3) • (–3) • (–3) • (–3) • (–3)
= –243
Helpful Hint
Always use parentheses to raise a negative number
to a power.

Example 2: Simplifying Powers
Simplify.
C. (–4)4
(–4)4= (–4) • (–4) • (–4) • (–4)
= 256
D.
Find the product
of four –4’s.
Find the product of eight 1/2’s.

Example 3
Simplify.
Find the product of four 7’s.
A. 74
74 = 7 • 7 • 7 • 7
= 2401
B. (–9)3
Find the product of three –9’s.
(–9)3 = (–9) • (–9) • (–9)
= –729

Example 3
Simplify.
C. –(5)2
–(5)2 = –(5) • (5)
= –25
Find the product of
two 5’s and then
make the answer
negative.
D. 97
Find the product of
97 = 9 • 9 • 9 • 9 • 9 • 9 • 9
= 4,782,969
seven 9’s.

Example 4: Using the Order of Operations
Evaluate x(yx – zy) + xy for x = 4, y = 2,
and z = 3.
x(yx – zy) + xy
4(24 – 32) + 42
Substitute 4 for x, 2 for y,
and 3 for z.
4(16 – 9) + 16
Evaluate the exponent.
4(7) + 16
Subtract inside the parentheses.
28 + 16
Multiply from left to right.
44
Add.

Example 5
Evaluate z – 7(2x – xy) for x = 5, y = 2,
and z = 60.
z – 7(2x – xy)
60 – 7(25 – 52)
Substitute 5 for x, 2 for y,
and 60 for z.
60 – 7(32 – 25) Evaluate the exponent.
60 – 7(7)
Subtract inside the parentheses.
60 – 49
Multiply from left to right.
11
Subtract.
