? Essential Question How can you write and evaluate numbers with exponents?
Answer:
You can use the “Order of operations” to evaluate the expressions containing exponents.
First, evaluate anything in Parentheses or grouping symbols.
Next, look for Exponents, followed by Multiplication and Division (reading from left to right)
Lastly, addition and subtraction (again, reading from left to right)

Example 1
The expression 2 × 2 × 2 represents the number of cells after 1 hour if there is 1 cell at the start. How can you write this expression using exponents? How many cells will there be after 1 hour?

Reasoning Repeated multiplication can be represented in more than one way.

Some bacteria cells divide every 20 minutes to make 2 cells.

You can use an exponent to write the repeated multiplication of a number.

A number that can be written using exponents is called a power.

The area of the square floor = (The sidelength of the square floor)²
= 12²
= 144 feet²
So,
The area of the square tiles = (The sidelength of the square tiles)²
= 2²
= 4 feet²
Now,
The number of tiles Jia needed to cover the entire floor = (The area of the square floor) ÷ (The area of the square tiles)

10,000 = 10⁴
So,
80,000 × 25 = 2³ × ⁴ × 5²
= (8 × 10⁴) × 5²
Hence, from the above,
We can conclude that
Kristen’s response was not correct

Question 36.
Consider the equation 1,000,000 = 10⁶. Why is 10 used as the base to write 10⁶?
Answer:
The given equation is: 1,000,000 = 10⁶
Now,
We know that,
In base-10, each digit of a number can have an integer value ranging from 0 to 9 (10 possibilities) depending on its position. The places or positions of the numbers are based on powers of 10. Each number position is 10 times the value to the right of it, hence the term base-10
Hence, from the above,
We can conclude that
We used 10 as the base to write 10⁶ because of the position and the possibilities

You can write an algebraic expression with decimals in the same way you do with whole numbers.

Answer:
It is given that
A bike shop charges by the hour to rent a bike. Related items are rented for flat fees
Now,
The given table is:

So,
The total cost of renting a bike and a helmet for h hours = (The cost of renting a bike per hour) × (The total number of hours) + The cost of a helmet
= $12.50 ×h + $5.25
So,
The total cost of renting a bike and a helmet for 3 hours = (The cost of renting a bike per hour) × (The total number of hours) + The cost of a helmet
= $12.50 ×3 + $5.25

It is given that
Ms. White wants to rent a small car for a week. It will cost the weekly fee plus $0.30 per mile driven. Let m= the number of miles Ms. White drives during the week.
Now,
The given table is:

So,
The total amount Ms. White will pay for the car = (The rent of a small car for a week) + (The extra fee for a small car per mile during the week) × (The total number of miles)
= $250 + $0.30m
Hence, from the above,
We can conclude that
The expression that represents the total amount Ms. White will pay for the car is: $250 + $0.30m

b. Evaluate the expression you wrote to find how much Ms. White will pay if she drives 100 miles.
Answer:
From Part (a),
We can observe that
The expression that represents the total amount Ms. White will pay for the car is: $250 + $0.30m
Now,
When Ms. White drives for 100 miles,
The total amount Ms. White will pay for the car if she drives 100 miles = $250 + $0.30 (100)
= $250 + $30
= $280
Hence, from the above,
We can conclude that
The total amount Ms. White will pay for the car if she drives 100 miles is: $280

The given table is:

Now,
According to the given information,
The expression that represents the total amount paid by Mr.Black for one week and a few days is: $325 + $120d
Where
d is the number of few days
Now,
For an 11-day rental,
The total amount paid by Mr.Black for one week and a few days = $325 + $120d
= $325 + $120 (11)
– $325 + $132
= $457
Hence, from the above,
We can conclude that
The total amount Mr.Black will pay for an 11-day rental is: $457

Question 28.
For any of the vehicles listed in the table, how many days can you rent the vehicle before it would be less expensive to rent for the week?
Answer:

Tamara is making a medium-length necklace. Write an expression that shows how much it will cost Tamara for the chain, pendant, and b beads that cost $0.25 each. Then find the total cost of the necklace if Tamara uses 30 beads.

Answer:
It is given that
Tamara is making a medium-length necklace
Now,
The given table is:

So,
The total cost of the medium-length necklace made by Tamara = (The cost of medium length necklace) + (The cost of medium length pendant) + (The cost of each bead) × (The total number of beads)
= $1.80 + $3.72 + $0.25b
= $5.52 + $0.25b
Now,
When there are 30 beads,
The total cost of the medium length necklace made by Tamara when there are 30 beads = $5.52 + $0.25b
= $5.52 + $0.25 (30)
= $13.02
Hence, from the above,

Higher-Order Thinking Ronnie is making short and long necklaces with only one chain and one pendant per necklace. Write an expression that shows how much it will cost Ronnie to make s short necklaces and n long necklaces. Then find the cost for 3 short necklaces and 2 long necklaces.
Answer:
It is given that
Ronnie is making short and long necklaces with only one chain and one pendant per necklace.
Now,
The given table is:

Now,
The cost of a necklace made by Ronnie = [(The cost of a short-chain) + (The cost of a short pendant)] × (The number of short necklaces) + [(The cost of a long chain) + (The cost of a long pendant)] × (The number of long necklaces)
= ($1.15 + $2.39) × s + ($2.25 + $4.50) × n
= $3.54s +  $6.75n
Where,
s is the number of short necklaces
n is the number of long necklaces
Now,
The cost of 3 short necklaces = $3.54s
= $3.54 × 3
= $10.62
Now,
The cost of 2 long necklaces = $6.75n
= 6.75 × 2
= $13.50
Hence, from the above,
We can conclude that
The expression that represents the cost of a necklace made by Ronnie is: $3.54s + $6.75n
The cost of 3 short necklaces is: $10.62
The cost of 2 long necklaces is: $13.50

Now,
For y = 1,
3 (y + 1) = 3 (1 + 1)
= 3 (2) = 6
3y + 3 = 3 (1) + 3
= 3 + 3 = 6
Now,
For y = 2,
3 (y + 1) = 3 (2 + 1)
= 3 (3) = 9
3y + 3 = 3 (2) + 3
= 6 + 3 = 9
Now,
For y = 3,
3 (y + 1) = 3 (3 + 1)
= 3 (4) = 12
3y + 3 = 3 (3) + 3
= 9 + 3 = 12
So,
For y = 1, y = 2, and y = 3
3 (y + 1) = 3y + 3
Hence, from the above,
We can conclude that
3 (y + 1) is equivalent to 3y + 3 for y = 1, y = 2, and y = 3
