Exponents and Power 

Numbers in exponential form obey certain laws, which are:
For any non-zero integers a and b and whole numbers m and n,

(a) a ^ prime prime * a^ prime prime =a^ prime prime +n

(b) (a ^ m) / (a ^ n) = a ^ (m - n) m > n

(c) (a ^ m) ^ n = a ^ (mn)

(d) a^ prime prime prime * b^ prime prime = (ab) ^ m

(e) (a ^ m) / (b ^ m) = (a/b) ^ m

(f) a ^ 0 = 1

(g) (-1) even number = 1 (-1)odd number 1




1.1 Base and Power 

= A × A × A × A × A 
= A⁵
The short notation of  A × A × A × A × A is A⁵
 Here ‘A’ is called the base and ‘5’ is called the exponent. 

In opposite 
A⁵ = A × A × A × A × A
Here A⁵ is called written in exponential form and A × A × A × A × A is called written in expanded form.

Now, 
The whole A² is written in exponential form.
7In A² the Digit A is called Base and Digit ² is called Power or Exponent. 

Observe 1,00, 000 
= 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 
= 10⁵
The short notation of 1,00,000 is 10⁴
 Here ‘10’ is called the base and ‘5’ is called the exponent. 

1.2 Reading of Power 

Instead of taking a fixed number let us take any integer a as the base, and write the
numbers as,
a = a¹
(read as ‘a')
a × a = a²
(read as ‘a squared’ or ‘a raised to the power 2’)
a × a × a = a³
(read as ‘a cubed’ or ‘a raised to the power 3’)
a × a × a × a = a⁴
(read as a raised to the power 4 or the 4th power of a)
..............................
a × a × a × a × a × a × a = a⁷
 (read as a raised to the power 7 or the 7th power of a)
and so on.
a × a × a × b × b can be expressed as a³ b²
(read as a cubed b squared)

EXAMPLE 6 Work out (1)⁵, (–1)³, (–1)⁴, (–10)³, (–5)⁴
.
SOLUTION
(i) We have (1)⁵
 = 1 × 1 × 1 × 1 × 1 
= 1
In fact, you will realise that 1 raised to any power is 1.

(ii) (–1)³
 = (–1) × (–1) × (–1) 
= 1 × (–1) 
= –1

(iii) (–1)⁴
 = (–1) × (–1) × (–1) × (–1) 
= 1 ×1 
= 1
You may check that (–1) raised to any odd power is (–1), and (–1) raised to any even power is (+1).

(iv) (–10)³
 = (–10) × (–10) × (–10) 
= 100 × (–10) 
= – 1000

(v) (–5)⁴
 = (–5) × (–5) × (–5) × (–5) 
= 25 × 25 
= 625

(i) 2⁶
(ii) 9³
(iii) 11²
(iv) 5⁴

Sol. (a)
In 2⁷ 
Base  = 2
Power = 7

02 Express 256 as a power 2.
Sol. 
We have 256 
= 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2.
= 2⁸
So we can say that 256 = 2⁸

03. Express the following numbers as a product of powers of prime factors:

Sol. (i)
(i) 72 
= 72
= 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 
= 2³ × 3²
Thus, 72 = 2³ × 3²
(required prime factor product form)

Exercise 05

DECIMAL NUMBER SYSTEM
(Part 01)
we already know that 
1 = 10⁰
10 = 10¹
100 = 10²
1000 = 10³
10,000 = 10⁴ etc.

Let us look at the expansion of 87561, which we already know that 
87561 = 8 × 10000 + 7 × 1000 + 5 × 100 + 6 × 10 + 1
We can express it using powers of 10 in the exponent form:
Therefore, 
87561 = 4 × 10⁴ + 7 × 10³ + 5 × 10⁴ + 6 × 10¹ + 1 × 10⁰
(Note 10,000 = 10⁴, 1000 = 10³, 100 = 10², 10 = 10¹ and 1 = 10⁰ )

Let us expand another number:
204378 = 1 × 100,000 + 0 × 10,000 + 4 × 1000 + 2 × 100 + 7 × 10 + 8 × 1
 = 2 × 10⁵ + 0 × 10⁴ + 4 × 10³ + 3 × 10² + 7 × 10¹ + 8 × 10⁰
= 2 × 10⁵ + 4 × 10³ + 3 × 10² + 7 × 10¹ + 8 × 10⁰

Notice how the exponents of 10 start from a maximum value of 5 and go on decreasing
by 1 at a step from the left to the right upto 0.

(Part 02)
We know that each digit is followed by a decimal point (.), whether it is written in the decimal place or not.
6 = 6.0
6.9 = 6.9
 69 = 69.0 
 690 = 690.0 
 6900 = 6900.0 
69000 =69000.0 
690000 =690000.0 
690000 =6900000.0 

These numbers are not convenient to write and read. To make it convenient we use powers.
Observe the following:
 69 = 6.9 × 10 = 6.9 × 10¹
 690 = 6.9 × 100 = 6.9 × 10²
 6900 = 6.9 × 1000 = 6.9 × 10³
69000 =6.9 × 10000 = 6.9 × 10⁴
690000 =6.9 × 100000 = 6.9 × 10⁵
690000 =6.9 × 1000000 = 6.9 × 10⁶
 and so on.

EXPRESSING LARGE NUMBERS IN THE STANDARD FORM

The large numbers are not convenient to write and read. To make it convenient we use powers. We said that large numbers can be
conveniently expressed using exponents. 

Standard Form or Scientific Notation Of The Number 
We know that any number can be expressed as a decimal number. Standard Form Of The Number is also known as Scientific Notation of the number.
The number start as 1.0 and multiplied by a power of 10 is called the Standard Form Of The Number

Such a form of a number A.B × 10ⁿ is called its standard form. (Where A, B and n are numbers)

★ The, distance of Sun from the centre of our Galaxy i.e., 300,000,000,000,000,000,000 m can be written as
= 3.0 × 100,000,000,000,000,000,000 
= 3.0 × 10²⁰ m

★ Now, can you express 40,000,000,000 in the similar way?
Count the number of zeros in it. It is 10.
So, 
= 40,000,000,000 
= 4.0 × 10,000,000,000
= 4.0 × 10¹⁰

★ Mass of the Earth  
= 5,976,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 kg
= 5.976 × 10²⁴ kg

Mass of Uranus 
= 86,800,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 kg
 = 8.68 × 10²⁵ kg
