 §9.3   or   §9.6    Calculating with powers

This § buids on, on:

§9.2 (havo) and §9.5 (vwo) Calculating with exponents, that we just worked on!

You will learn a few rules, in order to get rid of brackets.

Suppose we want to write this without brackets,

just like Carl wants to:

Question for one of you:

' ............ , what does it look like, without brackets?'

Just like             =     x      x    

We now have 4x  instead of only x. It works the same.

Question for one of you.

Might be you!

Think of what has to be filled in 

on the dots.

' ............., please give us your answer!'

Solution is in the next slide.

Solution:

Let's try to find a general rule for this.

We now know that:                                 =                                      =

Now more general: 

And finally:                                                    

        

One more RULE comes up this lesson:

Now about FRACTIONS!

Think about what to fill in on the dots:

Solution in next slide.

Solution:

What to fill in on the last dots?

Solution:

Now the 2nd RULE, about FRACTIONS,

in general terms (so with variables):

Some examples now.

Number 1:

Example 2:

A little practice:

Calculate and fill in your answer in the next slide:

                                               = .......

Choose from:   A. 16                    B.  64 

                                C.                          D. 12                             

(4x)​3​​

x​3​​

x​3​​

x​12​​

64x​3​​

(4x)^3 = ......

1. 16x^3
2. 64x^12
3. 64x^3
4. 12x^3

Solution:

Finally Task 2.

Work this one out on scrap paper and compare later.

Solution:

Finally ......

§9.3 Calculating with powers       

 instructs you on                                       

one more important topic.
