Properties of Powers

Powers have several important properties that are useful in simplifying expressions:

Product of Powers with Same Base

When multiplying powers with the same base, add the exponents.

$$x^a \times x^b = x^{a+b}$$

Example: $$2^3 \times 2^4 = 2^7 = 128$$

Quotient of Powers with Same Base

When dividing powers with the same base, subtract the exponents.

$$x^a \div x^b = x^{a-b}$$

Example: $$2^7 \div 2^3 = 2^4 = 16$$

Power of a Power

When raising a power to another power, multiply the exponents.

$$(x^a)^b = x^{a \times b}$$

Example: $$(2^3)^2 = 2^6 = 64$$

Multiple Operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS)

Evaluate expressions with multiple operations following the correct order of operations. Get step-by-step solutions and see how the order of operations works.

Order of Operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS)

When evaluating expressions with multiple operations, follow the order of operations to get the correct result:

PEMDAS (USA)
  1. Parentheses
  2. Exponents
  3. Multiplication and Division (from left to right)
  4. Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)
BODMAS (UK, India, and other countries)
  1. Brackets
  2. Orders (powers and roots)
  3. Division and Multiplication (from left to right)
  4. Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)
Example: 2 + 3 × 4

Step 1: Multiplication takes precedence over addition.

3 × 4 = 12

Step 2: Perform addition.

2 + 12 = 14

Result: 2 + 3 × 4 = 14

Arithmetic Properties and Applications

Arithmetic is the foundation of mathematics and has countless applications in everyday life. Understanding the properties and applications of arithmetic operations can help you solve problems more efficiently.

Properties of Addition

  • Commutative Property: $$a + b = b + a$$
    Example: $$5 + 3 = 3 + 5 = 8$$
  • Associative Property: $$(a + b) + c = a + (b + c)$$
    Example: $$(2 + 3) + 4 = 2 + (3 + 4) = 9$$
  • Identity Property: $$a + 0 = a$$
    Example: $$7 + 0 = 7$$
  • Inverse Property: $$a + (-a) = 0$$
    Example: $$5 + (-5) = 0$$

Properties of Multiplication

  • Commutative Property: $$a \times b = b \times a$$
    Example: $$5 \times 3 = 3 \times 5 = 15$$
  • Associative Property: $$(a \times b) \times c = a \times (b \times c)$$
    Example: $$(2 \times 3) \times 4 = 2 \times (3 \times 4) = 24$$
  • Identity Property: $$a \times 1 = a$$
    Example: $$7 \times 1 = 7$$
  • Distributive Property: $$a \times (b + c) = (a \times b) + (a \times c)$$
    Example: $$3 \times (4 + 5) = (3 \times 4) + (3 \times 5) = 12 + 15 = 27$$
  • Zero Property: $$a \times 0 = 0$$
    Example: $$7 \times 0 = 0$$

Real-Life Applications

  • Financial: Budgeting, shopping, banking, investing
  • Everyday: Cooking, time management, travel, home improvement
  • Educational: Grade calculation, science, statistics, computer science
  • Professional: Business, engineering, healthcare, construction

Mental Math Tricks

  • Multiplying by 5: Divide by 2, then multiply by 10
    Example: $$36 \times 5 = (36 \div 2) \times 10 = 18 \times 10 = 180$$
  • Multiplying by 9: Multiply by 10, then subtract the original number
    Example: $$7 \times 9 = (7 \times 10) - 7 = 70 - 7 = 63$$
  • Multiplying by 11: For two-digit numbers, add the digits and place between them
    Example: $$42 \times 11 = 4(4+2)2 = 462$$
  • Squaring numbers ending in 5: Take the tens digit, multiply by next integer, append 25
    Example: $$35^2 = 3 \times 4 = 12, append 25 = 1225$$
