9.1 - Powers and Exponents
Exponent: how many times a number is used as a factor
Power: a number that is expressed using an exponent

Base: the number that is multiplied
The negative sign out front!
-54 (exponent only applies to the 5)
(-5)4 (exponent applies to the -5)
*bring negative sign to the answer
Any number to the zero power defined as 1.
Zero to the zero power is undefined (cannot be done).

A baseball diamond is actually a square with an area of 8100 square feet. Most baseball teams cover
their diamond with a tarp to protect it from the rain. How long is the tarp on each side?
Walter found a piece of paper at the store that will cover 256 square feet. If he lays the paper on the
gym floor, what is the possible maximum length that each side of the paper?
