Powers and Roots
This page delves deeper into the concepts of powers and roots, providing essential techniques for manipulating these mathematical expressions.
The document explains various operations involving roots, including:
- Extracting the square root of a product
- Extracting the cube root of a product
- Finding the square root of a quotient
- Finding the cube root of a quotient
Example: √ = √a * √b
It also covers techniques for simplifying expressions by moving factors in and out of roots:
- Taking factors out from under a root
- Putting factors under a root
- Rationalizing denominators
Example: √20 = √ = √4 * √5 = 2√5
The page then transitions to rules for working with powers, including:
- Multiplying powers with the same base
- Dividing powers with the same base
- Power of a product
- Power of a quotient
- Power of a power
Vocabulary: a^m * a^n = a^
The final section of the page introduces percentages, explaining how to convert between fractions, decimals, and percentages. It also demonstrates how to calculate percentages of given quantities.
Example: To find 38% of 180 zł: * 180 = 68.40 zł
