Course description

Learn the fundamental laws of exponents and develop fluency in their algebraic manipulation. Discover how these laws naturally connect exponents and radicals. Explore how exponent rules interact with other fundamental operations. Apply exponent notation in contexts such as scientific notation and prime factorization.


Topics covered

  • Squares and cubes;
  • powers as repeated multiplication;
  • Laws of exponents (product, quotient, power of a power, power of products and quotients);
  • Zero and negative exponents;
  • Prime factorization and scientific notation using exponents
  • nth roots as inverses of powers;
  • Rational exponents and radical–exponent equivalence;
  • Simplifying, estimating, and operating with radicals (products, quotients, rationalizing simple denominators)
