The King’s Chessboard Problem: In The King’s Chessboard, the wise man requests as his reward grains of rice following
the rule: 1 grain of rice for the first square on the chessboard, two grains of rice for the second square, four grains of rice
for the next square, then eight grains of rice, and so on, for all 64 squares on the chessboard.
Exponents
There is an Mathematical operation, named Exponent, that helps up to solve problems
like this, when we have a number being doubling or tripling or quadrupling and so on
consecutively.

1) What is an exponent?
It’s an Arithmetic Operation just like the four main Arithmetic Operation that we use in Math, with are:
+ : Addition
- : Subtraction
× : Multiplication
÷ : Division
1) What is an exponent?
 Multiplication
Examples:
a) 2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2 = 8×2 (or 2×8)
� The number 2 is being adding by itself eight times.
� Instead of adding the number 2 eight times, it is possible to write 8×2
b) 3+3+3+3+3+3+3+3+3+3+3+3+3+3+3+3 = 16×3 (or 3×16)
� The number 3 is being adding by itself sixteen times.
� Instead of adding the number 3 sixteen times it is possible to write 16×3
Multiplications are a shorthand way to write repeated addition.
1) What is an exponent?
If I have a number being multiplying by itself many times, how can we write it in a shorthand way?
For example:
a) 2×2×2×2×2×2×2×2=
➔ The number 2 (factor) is being multiplying by itself eight times,
➔ Instead of multiplying the number 2 eight times, it is possible to use exponents to write
it in a simpler way:
b) 3×3×3×3×3×3×3×3×3×3×3×3×3×3×3×3 =
➔ The number 3 (factor) is being multiplying by itself sixteen times,
➔ Instead of multiplying the number 3 sixteen times, it is possible to use exponents to write it
in a simpler way
Exponents are a shorthand way to write repeated multiplications.
2) How to represent and what are the name of the
terms of an exponent?
Base
Exponent
The small number written above and to the right of a number is called exponent and the underneath the exponent is called
base.
• Base is the number that is multiplied by itself.
• Exponent indicate how many times the base is multiplied by itself.
3) How to calculate an Exponent?
a) 62
c) 35
62 = 6 × 6
= 36
Multiply the base 6
2 times.
b) 33
35 = 3 ×3 × 3 × 3 ×3
= 243
Multiply the base 3
5 times.
d) 45
33 = 3 × 3 × 3
= 27
Multiply the base 3
3 times.
45 = 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4
= 1024
Multiply the base 4
5 times.
4) How to read exponents?
Example:
Ordinal numbers
Two to the
fourth (4th)
power
Two raised to
the power 4
Two to the
fourth
Two to the
power 4
4) How to read exponents?
Example:
Ten to the sixth
(6th) power
Ten raised to
the power 6
Ten to the sixth
Ten to the
power 6
4) How to read exponents?
When the base is raised to the second power we can use the word squared to mean “to the second
power.”.
Example:
Why is squared?
Three to the
second power
Three raised to
the power 2
Three to the
second
Three to the
power 2
Three squared
To square a number, we need to multiply
it by itself. Example:
3 squared = 32 = 3 • 3 = 9,
that is the area of a square with the side 3.
3
3
Area:
3 • 3 = 32 = 9
4) How to read exponents?
When the base is raised to the third power we can use the word cubed to mean “to the third power.”.
Example:
Why Cubed?
Four to the third
power
Four raised to
the power 3
Four to the third
Four to the
power 3
To cubed a number, we need to
multiply the number by itself three times.
Example:
3 cubed = 33 = 3• 3 •3 = 27, that is
the volume of a cube with the side 3.
Volume:
3 • 3 • 3 = 33 = 27
3
Four cubed

5) Is there an exponential symbol? If yes, what is
the symbol?
If expoents are Math operation, don’t we need a operation symbol ?

?
➔ We don’t need a special operation symbol to represent an exponent because of the way the numbers are written.
➔ We can recognize this operation because the exponent is written smaller and up at the top of the base:
5) Is there an exponential symbol? If yes, what is
the symbol?
We don’t need to use any symbol to represent an exponent but there are sometimes, for example
when you use the calculater or a computer to calculate an exponent or in a computer programming,
we need to use a symbol.
Caret
3 ^2
123 ^ 1233
2 ^ 60
5) Is there an exponential symbol? If yes, what is
the symbol?
3 ^9 = 19,683
3^9
19683.
3×3×3×3×3×3×3×3×3

Observation: We can find other symbols in the scientific calculator:
5) Is there an exponential symbol? If yes, what is
the symbol?
Let’s Practice with Calculators
3^4 = 81
5^3 = 125
10^4 = 10000
7^7 = 823543
6) When is any number raised to the number one,
what can we conclude?
itself
 Case 1: Any number raised to the power 1 is equal to ______
12
7) When the base of an exponent is equal one, what
can we conclude?
1
 Case 2: The number 1 raised to the any power is equal to ___
The number 1 is being multiplying by itself 23 times
8) When the base of an exponent is equal zero, what
can we conclude?
0
 Case 3: The number 0 (with the exception of itself) raised to the any power is equal to ___
The number 0 is being multiplying by itself 23 times
9) Why is any non-zero number raised to the power
of zero equal one?
1
 Case 4: Any number (with the exception of 0) raised to the power 0 is equal to ___

0=0
When mathematicians have two perfectly good rules that give different answers for some
problem like
00, they say the answer is undefined.
10) Does the exponentiation have the commutative property?
Addition
Multiplication
2+3 =3+2
=5
2×3 = 3×2
6= 6
Subtraction
9-3 ≠ 3-9
6 ≠ -6
Commutative
Division
Exponentiation
2÷1 ≠ 1÷2
2 ≠ 0.5

In what other situations can we use exponentiation
concepts to help us to solve problems?
Viral growth
A virus, if unchecked, tends to spread through a population in an exponential manner.
I'm sure, if you've been watching as the current coronavirus pandemic has begun its spread
across the globe, you'll have heard the term "R-naught" or R0 being used. This refers to how infectious a
virus is, and is a measure of how many other people one person may infect.
An R0 of 2 means that, on average, one person will infect two others. This growth and spread
from one person to two more will take place over a certain length of time, maybe several days. Which is
why containment, via isolation, is so important.
So back to the chess board example. If one person infects two others, those two will infect two
more each, resulting in 4 more new infections. There are now 7 infections in total, the original one, two
more, then four more... Over each period of days numbers of newly infected double and re-double, just
like the grains of rice on a chess board.
After 10 periods of doubling, from one initial infection, there are new 512 people infected. The
11th doubling infects 1,024 more, and the total number infected is now 2,047.
Many of the original "generations" of infected will by this time have had an "outcome". They
have either recovered or died. CFR (case fatality rates) can begin to be estimated from these figures.
The 21st period of doubling produces over 1 million new cases.
In what other situations can we use exponentiation
concepts to help us to solve problems?
Grow your wealth
The value of an investment, as interest paid on it compounds over the years, can be thrilling
as one approaches retirement. A sum of $1,000, invested at the age of 20, compounded at
13% growth per year, over a term of 45 years will grow to an incredible hoard of wealth.
At the end of Year 1 the investment is worth $1,130, and when re-invested for the second
year, will gain a further 13%. This results in a sum of $1,277 at the end of Year 2.
The maths is simple. You just take the original 1,000 and multiply it by 1.13. The answer is
multiplied by 1.13 again to give the result for the end of the second period.
Continue this multiplication 45 times, and you have the resulting cash lump sum payout at age
65, from your initial investment of $1,000 at age 20.The amazing result is $216,497.
If you'd invested just $5k at age 20, and for 45 years didn't add a single extra cent to your
retirement fund, you'd retire a millionaire. $5,000 compounded at 13% over 45 years, comes out
at $1,082,484.
OK, so I know what you're thinking:
"But Ian, you can't earn 13% on your capital. Also, this doesn't take in to account interest rate
variables, or the devaluation of your currency due to inflation."You're right, of course. This is just
a simple example to further illustrate how compound interest, or exponential growth, works over
time to create huge numbers. I've used the optimistic growth rate of 13% for a reason, as you'll
soon see.
Let's look at another example, perhaps of a more relevant nature right now.
