Integer Exponent Properties Guide Answer Key

Mathematical exponent symbols and equations

📚 Part 1: Basic Exponent Properties - ANSWERS

1. Simplify: 3⁴ × 3²

Answer: 3⁶ = 729

Product Rule: When multiplying same bases, add exponents (4 + 2 = 6)

2. Simplify: 5⁷ ÷ 5³

Answer: 5⁴ = 625

Quotient Rule: When dividing same bases, subtract exponents (7 - 3 = 4)

3. Simplify: (2³)⁴

Answer: 2¹² = 4,096

Power Rule: When raising a power to a power, multiply exponents (3 × 4 = 12)

4. Evaluate: 4⁰

Answer: 1

Zero Exponent Rule: Any non-zero number to the power of 0 equals 1

5. Simplify: 6⁻³

Answer: 1/6³ = 1/216

Negative Exponent Rule: a⁻ⁿ = 1/aⁿ

✏️ Part 2: Advanced Applications - ANSWERS

6. Simplify: (3x²)³

Answer: 27x⁶

Apply power to each factor: 3³ × (x²)³ = 27 × x⁶

7. Simplify: 8x⁵y⁻² ÷ 2x²y³

Answer: 4x³/y⁵

Step-by-step: (8÷2) × (x⁵÷x²) × (y⁻²÷y³) = 4 × x³ × y⁻⁵ = 4x³/y⁵

8. Express with positive exponents: (2a⁻³b²)⁻²

Answer: a⁶/(4b⁴)

Apply negative exponent: 2⁻² × (a⁻³)⁻² × (b²)⁻² = 1/4 × a⁶ × b⁻⁴

9. Solve for x: 2ˣ = 32

Answer: x = 5

Since 32 = 2⁵, therefore x = 5

🎯 Part 3: Challenge Problems - ANSWERS

10. Simplify: (x⁻²y³)⁻¹ × (xy⁻¹)²

Answer: x⁴/y

Work shown:

Step 1: (x⁻²y³)⁻¹ = x²y⁻³

Step 2: (xy⁻¹)² = x²y⁻²

Step 3: x²y⁻³ × x²y⁻² = x⁴y⁻⁵ = x⁴/y⁵

Correction: Final answer is x⁴/y⁵

11. If 3ˣ⁺² = 81, find the value of x.

Answer: x = 2

Since 81 = 3⁴, we have x + 2 = 4, so x = 2

12. Express in scientific notation: (4 × 10³) × (2 × 10⁻⁵)

Answer: 8 × 10⁻²

Multiply coefficients: 4 × 2 = 8; Add exponents: 3 + (-5) = -2
