How do you solve a problem that has a variable with an exponent?
multiply
What do you do when you multiply an exponent by a whole number?
You multiply the whole number as many times as the exponent is.
How do you spell exponent?
That is the correct spelling of "exponent" (an advocate, or the numerical power to which a number or variable is raised)
Is there a zero exponent?
Yes the exponent is the number of times you multiply it so for example twenty with a zero exponent is zero
What do you do to the exponent when you multiply?
Example(4)2 ( 3)first you take care of the exponent(16)(3)then you times the other numbersYou might mean what happens when you raise and exponent to a power?You multiply the the exponents.
How do you solve a problem that has a variable with an exponent?
multiply
What is the exponent of y in 3xy?
Whenever you see a variable (letter) without any exponent, it's exponent is 1.
How do you get the exponent?
you get an exponent when you multiply EXAMPLE 10x10x10=1000 that is an exponent NO DONT THINK THAT IF THE EXPONENT IS 3 YOU MULTIPLY IT BY 3 NO WAY JOSE
What do you do when you multiply an exponent by a whole number?
You multiply the whole number as many times as the exponent is.
Is a variable with no power assumed to be to the power of one?
Yes. If we don't see an exponent, the exponent is understood to be one. Just like if we don't see a sign, the sign is assumed to be positive. This in no way constricts or limits the variable. The variable can still be anything at all. But assumptions like this are part of mathematics. How tedious would it be to have to write "x1" for each x? In any case, x1 = x so it is almost pointless.Yes, because if the variable (hypothetically speaking) is 1 (and it can be any number in the world, but 1 is an example), and the exponent (power) is 1, there is only one number to multiply, therefore, the number can only be by itself. If it is squared (to the second power) then you multiply the variable against itself (in this case, 1 X 1), but if the variable doesn't have an exponent, it is assumed to be to the power of one. Take the number 2, for example. If 2 is the variable, x, and x is alone, and you multiply how big the number is of the exponent, and because there is none, it is to the first power.X squared looks like this: x X xX (a.k.a. x to the first power) looks like this: xIf there is no exponent, you only multiply what is there, which there is only one variable, so it is assumed to be to the first power. If it were squared, or to the second power as demonstrated above, you would multiply x by itself. If you count the variables in the equation, x squared has two x's, while x alone has only one x in the equation. Because there is only one x, and the exponent represents how many of that number (in this case, x) you multiply by itself, x is assumed to be to the first power, or to the power of one.
What is the LCM of 6p2q3r4 and 14pq2r3?
The lcm of 6p^2 q^3 r^4 and 14pq^2 r^3? 1. Prime factor 6 and 14 2. Write the prime factorization using exponents 3. Write each same base number with the highest exponent. 4. Write each single base number(number without exponent) 5. Multiply the numbers *For monomials only* 6. Choose highest exponent for each variable 7. Write each variable with its exponent in alphabetical order (ex. 24a*bc*) (a variable that doesn't appear to have an exponent, has an automatic exponent of 1) LCM=42p^2 q^3 r^4
Degree of a term?
the variable's exponent
Can a polynomial have a variable exponent?
No. An expression can have a variable exponent (for instance, 2 to the power x, or x to the power y), but that is no longer a polynomial.
Does the variable a with the exponent negative n equal 1 over a with the exponent of a positive n?
Yes.
How do you spell exponent?
That is the correct spelling of "exponent" (an advocate, or the numerical power to which a number or variable is raised)
Is there a zero exponent?
Yes the exponent is the number of times you multiply it so for example twenty with a zero exponent is zero
What is the number of a variable that contains the exponent?
Depends on the problem.
