Math Problem Statement

Evaluate expressions with exponents, expanded form, and calculation of values.

Solution

Let's work through the questions visible in the image:

17. 7×7×7×77 \times 7 \times 7 \times 7

This can be written as:

  • Exponent form: 747^4

18. 3×3×3×3×3×33 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3

This can be written as:

  • Exponent form: 363^6

19. 15×15\frac{1}{5} \times \frac{1}{5}

This can be written as:

  • Exponent form: (15)2\left( \frac{1}{5} \right)^2

Problems 20–22 ask to write each expression in expanded form and then calculate the value.

20. 717^1

  • a. Expanded form: 77
  • b. Value of the expression: 77

21. 545^4

  • a. Expanded form: 5×5×5×55 \times 5 \times 5 \times 5
  • b. Value of the expression: 625625

22. 7(2)37(2)^3

  • a. Expanded form: 7×(2×2×2)7 \times (2 \times 2 \times 2)
  • b. Value of the expression: 7×8=567 \times 8 = 56

Evaluate each expression:

23. 2x2^x for x=9x = 9

  • Value: 29=5122^9 = 512

24. 6n26n^2 for n=3n = 3

  • Value: 6(32)=6×9=546(3^2) = 6 \times 9 = 54

25. 4s34s^3 for s=5s = 5

  • Value: 4(53)=4×125=5004(5^3) = 4 \times 125 = 500

Do you need more details or have any questions?

Here are some related questions:

  1. What is the general rule for converting repeated multiplication into exponents?
  2. How do you simplify (a×b)n(a \times b)^n when both aa and bb are raised to the power of nn?
  3. What is the formula for the square of a binomial, such as (a+b)2(a + b)^2?
  4. How can exponents be used in real-world problems, like compound interest?
  5. How do negative exponents affect the value of an expression?

Tip: Always check your expanded form before calculating the value to ensure all terms are correctly represented!
