7.1.C Introduction to Multiplying Powers

Multiplying Powers You can use patterns to find shortcuts for multiplying powers.In each blank, fill in the value. If you have an option between entering two correct values, use the order in which they show up in the problem.Use the 'x' as multiplication and DO NOT skip any spaces. 2 2 5 3 2 5 3 2 3 1 2 6x6x6x6x6x6 6 3 3 7x7x7x7x7x7x7x7 8 2 6 10x10x10x10x10x10x10x0x10x10 10 3 7 9a. What pattern do you see in numbers #s 1-8?9b. Use your pattern to predict the value of xm∗ xn Continuing with negative exponents. For fractions, use the ' button as the fraction bar. For example, to type one half, type "1 Use x to multiply again, and do not skip any spaces. -1 2 -2 1 -2 0 3 -3 1 2 -4 6 1 4 -3 7 16a. What patterns do you see in #s 10-15?16b. Predict x7 ∗x-9 The next lessons explain in detail how to multiply like bases and exponents. Based on this activity, how would you rank your understanding so far?
