1. A negative exponent does not mean the decimal value is negative. It means the decimal value is

2. To add or subtract numbers written with exponents:

3. To subtract powers of ten:

4. An integer that is found by squaring another integer. You already know how to find the square root of 25 because it is a perfect square: 5 x 5 = 25 - or you could write it as 52 = 25. So 25 is a perfect square - and its square root is 5.

5. Dividing by 10

6. For the 10

7. The square root of 9 is

8. To multiply powers of 10:

9. The cube root of zero is

10. Multiplying by 10

11. Numbers with exponents can be directly multiplied or divided only when they have the

12. The decimal part

13. 0 to any power is equal to

14. To divide powers that have the same base:

15. Step 1: Add the exponents Step 2: Use the common base

16. When working with scientific notation - you are often required to change the location of the decimal point in the coefficient - but when you move the decimal point - you must

18. A number - when multiplied by itself - is equal to a given number.

19. What number multiplied by itself is equal to 4? Well - 2. x 2 = 4 - so the answer is

20. To find the square root of any number - simply key in the number (the radicand) and press the

21. When this is exactly one digit (not including zero) to the left of the decimal point. This sometimes called the normalized form.

22. When you increase the value of the power-of-10 exponent

23. Increase the value of the exponent by 1 (multiplying by 10)

24. Any number with a negative exponent is equal to

25. To find the cube root of any number - simply key in the number (the radicand) and press cube-root key. On most calculators - the cube-root function is a 2nd level function. This means you have to press the 2nd key before pressing the key for the
