Power To A Power Law

When a power is raised to an exponent simply multiply the two exponents together to get a new power.

Power Of A Product Law

When a product is raised to an exponent you can re-write each number in the product to the same exponent.

Product Of A Quotient Law

When a quotient is raised to an exponent you can re-write each number in the quotient with the same exponent.

Anything to the exponent 0 is 1

Anything to the exponent 1 is to itself

1 to any exponent is 1

If there is a negative exponent in the numerator or in the denominator just simply flip it to turn it into a positive.

These are what these numbers are called when they are written like this.

Question number 16

A square has an area of 225 cm². What is the radius of the largest circle that can fit inside the square? Show your thinking.

S² = 225cm²

So if S² is 225cm² than what i had to do was find S by it by itself. By finding S i had to square root S² .

√225cm² and i got 15.

S = 15cm

Since i found S which is one side of the square, i know that one side equals to the diameter of the circle. So what i did next was took the diameter and dived it by 2.

d/2 = r

15/2 = 7.5

7.5 = r

The radius of the largest circle is 7.5cm.
