In this chapter, you will learn about a very short way to describe calculations like this:

\(3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3\)

You already know a short way to describe calculations like this:

\(3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3\)

  10. Can you think of two numbers, so that when you add their squares, you get the square of another number?

The exponential notation

Repeated multiplication with the same number

  1. Express each number below as a product of prime factors. Example: \(250 = 2 \times 5 \times 5 \times 5\)

    1. 35

    2. 70

    3. 140

    4. 280

    5. 81

    6. 625

    5 is a repeated factor of 250. It is repeated 3 times.

  2. Which numbers in question 1 have repeated factors? In each case, state what number is repeated as a factor and how many times it is repeated.

    A number that can be expressed as a product of one repeated factor is called a power of that number.

    Examples:

    32 is a power of 2, because \(32 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2\)

    100 000 is a power of 10, because \(10 \times 10 \times 10 \times 10 \times 10 = 100 000\)

  3. Express each number as a power of 2, 3, 5 or 10.

    1. 125

    2. 64

    3. 100

    4. 1 000

  4. Calculate each of the following. You can use each answer to get the next answer.

    1. \( 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2\)

    2. \( 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2\)

    3. \( 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2\)

    4. \( 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2\)

    5. \( 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2\)

    6. \( 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2\)

    7. \( 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2\)

    8. \( 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2\)

    9. \( 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2\)

    10. \( 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2\)

    Because the factor 2 is repeated 5 times, 32 is called the fifth power of 2, or 2 to the power 5.

    Similarly, 125 is the third power of 5.

    125 can also be called "5 to the power 3" or "5 cubed".

  5. The seventh power of 2 is shown in question 4(d).What power of 2 is shown in each of the following parts of question 4?

    1. 4(j)

    2. 4(i)

    3. 4(h)

    4. 4(f)

  6. What power of what number is shown in each case below?

    1. \( 15 \times 15 \times 15 \times 15 \times 15 \times 15 \times 15 \times 15\)

    2. \( 12 \times 12 \times 12 \times 12 \times 12 \times 12 \times 12 \times 12 \times 12 \times 12 \times 12 \times 12\)

    Instead of writing "5 to the power 6" we may write \(5^6\). This is called the exponential notation.

    \(5^6\) means \(5 \times 5 \times 5 \times 5 \times 5 \times 5\).

    \(5 \times 6\) means \(6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6\).

  7. Write each of the numbers in question 3 in exponential notation.

  8. Write each of the numbers in question 4 in exponential notation.

  9. In each case write the number in exponential notation.

    1. The fifth power of 5

    2. The sixth power of 5

    3. The third power of 4

    4. 6 to the power 4

    5. 4 to the power 6

    6. 5 to the power 15

    90672.png

    \(3^5\) means \(3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3\).

    The repeating factor in a power is called the base.

    The number of repetitions is called the exponent or index.

    \(3^1\) means 3. The base is 3 but there is no repetition.

    Any number raised to the power 1 equals the number itself.

  10. In each case below some information about a number is given. Each number can be expressed as a power. What is the number in each case?

    1. The base is 5 and the index is 3.

    2. The base is 10 and the exponent is 4.

    3. The base is 20 and the exponent is 3.

  11. Calculate each of the following:

    1. \( 5 \times 5 \times 5 \)

    2. \( 5 \times 5 \times 5 \times 5 \times 5\)

    3. \( 5 + 5 + 5\)

    4. \( 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5\)

    5. \( 5 \times 3\)

    6. \( 5^3\)

Squares and cubes

The number 9 is called the square of 3 because \(3 \times 3 = 9\). The number 3, called the base, is multiplied by itself. \({\bf3^2}\) is read as three squared or three to the power 2.

The number 27 is called the cube of 3 because \(3 \times 3 \times 3 = 27\). The base, the number 3, is multiplied by itself and again by itself. \({\bf3^3}\) is read as three cubed or three to the power 3.

Calculating squares and cubes

Squaring the number 2 means that we must multiply 2 by itself. It means we have to calculate \(2 \times 2\), which has a value of 4, and we write \(2 \times 2 = 4\).

  1. In (a) to (f) below, the numbers in set B are found by squaring each number in set A. Write down the numbers that belong to set B in each case.

    Cubing the number 2 means that we must multiply 2 by itself, and again. It means we have to calculate \(2 \times 2 \times 2\), which has a value of 8, and we write \(2 \times 2 \times 2 = 8\).

    1. Cube 1. Also cube 2 and 3.

    2. Cube 5. Also cube 10 and 4.

    The symbol \(\sqrt{25}\)can be used to indicate the square root of 25. So we can write \(\sqrt{25}=5\). The symbol \(\sqrt[3]{125}\) can be used to indicate the cube root of 125. So we can write \(\sqrt[3]{125}= 5\)

  3. What mathematical symbol can be used to indicate each of the following?

    1. The square root of 169

    2. The cube root of 343

    3. The square root of 2 500

    4. The cube root of 729

    5. The cube of 25

    6. The square of 25

    By agreement amongst mathematicians, the symbol \(\sqrt{}\) means the square root of the number that is written inside the symbol. So we normally write \(\sqrt{4}\) instead of \(\sqrt[2]{4}\)

    For the cube root, however, the number 3 outside of the root sign \(\sqrt[3]{}\) must be written in order to distinguish the cube root from the square root.

Comparing numbers in exponential form

Bigger, smaller or equal?

  1. Which is bigger?

    1. \(2^5\) or \(5^2\)

    2. \(3^4\) or \(4^3\)

    3. \(2^3\) or \(6^1\)

    We can use mathematical symbols to indicate whether a number is bigger, smaller or has the same value as another number.

    We use the symbol > to indicate that the number on the left-hand side of the symbol is bigger than the one on the right-hand side. The number 5 is bigger than 3 and we express this in mathematical language as 5 > 3.

    The symbol < is used to indicate that the number on the left-hand side of the symbol is smaller than the number on the right-hand side. The number 3 is smaller than 5 and we express this mathematically as 3 < 5.

    When numbers have the same value we use the equal sign, =. The numbers \({\bf2^3}\) and 8 have the same value and we write this as \({\bf2^3}= 8\).

  2. Use the symbols =, < or > to make the following true. Check your answers.

    1. \(\sqrt[3]{64}\) ☐ \(\sqrt{16}\)

    2. \(3^3\) ☐ \(4^2\)

    3. 6 ☐ \(\sqrt{36}\)

    4. \(\sqrt[3]{125}\) ☐ \(\sqrt{100}\)

    5. \(3^3\) ☐ \(\sqrt[3]{216}\)

    6. \(2^4\) ☐ \(3^4\)

    7. \(2^3\) ☐ \(3^2\)

    8. \(\sqrt[3]{1}\) ☐ \(\sqrt{1}\)

    9. \(9\) ☐ \(3^3\)

    10. \(100\) ☐ \(15^2\)

  3. Which is bigger, \(1^ {100}\) or \(100^1\) ? Explain.

  4. What is the biggest number you can make with the symbols 4 and 2?

  5. Two whole numbers that follow on each other, like 4 and 5, are called consecutive numbers. Is the difference between the squares of two consecutive whole numbers always an odd number?

Be smart when doing calculations

Our knowledge of squares can help us to do some calculations much quicker. Suppose you want to calculate 11 \times 12.

\(11^2\) has a value of 121. We know that \(11 \times 11 = 121\).

\(11 \times 12\) means that there are 12 elevens in total.

So

\( \begin{align} 11 \times 12 &= 11 \times 11 + 11 \\ &= 121 + 11 \\ &= 132 \end{align}\)

Suppose you want to calculate \(11 \times 17\).

\(11 \times 17 = 17\) elevens in total = 11 elevens + 6 elevens

Well, we know that \(11 \times 11 = 121\)

So

\( \begin{align} 11 \times 17 &= 11 \times 11 + 6 \times 11 \\ &= 121 + 66 \\ &= 187 \end{align}\)

Now do the following calculations in your exercise book, using your knowledge of square numbers.

  1. \(11 \times 19\)

  2. \(13 \times 16\)

  3. \(15 \times 18\)

  4. \(12 \times 18\)

Arranging numbers in ascending and descending order

The numbers 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, ... are arranged from the smallest to the biggest number. We say that the numbers 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, ... are arranged in ascending order.

The numbers 25, 16, 9, 4, 1, ... are arranged from the biggest to the smallest number. We say that the numbers 25, 16, 9, 4, 1, ... are arranged in descending order.

  1. Arrange the following numbers in ascending order:

Calculations

The order of operations

When a numerical expression includes multiple operations, for example both multiplication and addition, what you do first makes a difference.

It is important to know the correct order in which operations in a numerical expression should be done.

If there are no brackets in a numerical expression, it means that multiplication and division must be done first, and addition and subtraction only later. For example, the expression \(12 + 3 \times 5\) means "multiply 3 by 5; then add 12". It does not mean "add 12 and 3; then multiply by 5".

If you wish to specify that addition should be done first , that part of the expression should be put in brackets. For example ,if you wish to say " add 5 and 12; then multiply by 3", the numerical expression should be \(3 \times (5+12)\) or \((5+12) \times 3\).

Here is another example: The expression \(10 - 6 \div 3\) means "divide 6 by 3; then subtract the answer from 10". It does not mean " subtract 6 from 10; then divide by 3".If you wish to specify that subtraction should be done first, that part of the expression should be put in brackets. The numerical expression \((10-6) \div 3\) means " subtract 6 from 10; then divide the answer by 3".

Writing numerical expressions in words

Write each of the following numerical expressions in words:

  1. \(5 \times 2^2 +3 \)
