How You Can (And Should) Get More Practice!
Below is a few practice problems of various difficulty, but you will need considerably more practice than one each. For that reason
you should definitely use the green “Try Another” button in the top right corner at least two or three times to complete
additional versions of these questions for more practice. You should keep using that button until doing these problems feels straight
forward and easy, and then come back after a week or so of doing other stuff and try again to make sure it is still just as easy for
you.
Theoretically Easier Difficulty Problem
Recall a positive integer exponent means you want to multiply the base by itself that many times.
Compute the following numeric exponential value.
Theoretically Medium Difficulty Problem
Recall negative exponents mean you need to flip the base (For example, . Note that the negative exponent does not mean
you need to flip the sign of the exponent (it only flips the base).
Compute the following numeric exponential value.
Theoretically Harder Difficulty Problem
Recall negative exponents mean you need to flip the base (For example, . Note that the negative exponent does not mean
you need to flip the sign of the exponent (it only flips the base).
When applying an exponent to a fraction, you should distribute the exponent to the numerator and the denominator. For
example .
