Try This! Expanding
For Questions 1-6, write in exponential form and simplify.
- The area of a square with side 3.
- The volume of a cube with side 5.
- \(2\cdot2\cdot2\cdot2\cdot2\)
- \(2\cdot2\cdot3\cdot3\cdot3\)
- The volume of a cube with side \(\dfrac12\) (express answer in simplified fraction form).
- \(9\cdot x\cdot x \cdot x \cdot x\)
- Write an expression for the perimeter of a square with side 3. How is this different from the expression to find the area (Question 1)?
- Simplify each of the following and explain how they are different:
\(2x+2x+2x+2x+2x\)
\(2x\cdot 2x\cdot 2x\cdot 2x\cdot 2x\)
- Simplify the expressions \((-2)^3\) and \(3(-2)\) and show mathematically how they are different.
