The power (1) |
1. Concept of the power
When we see the picture, we wonder: how many oarsmen participate in the regattas? There are 4 oarsmen in each of the four trawlers, then in total there are 4 x 4 = 16 oarsmen, This can also be written as: 42 and it is read "four to the power of two" .
The powers are products that are all equal factors.
Example: 5 x 5 = 52; 6 x 6 x 6 = 63;
7 x 7 x 7 x 7 = 74.
Do these problems on a paper and write the solution:
