- evaluate exponential expressions with variable exponents at a given value,
- use the laws of exponents to simplify an exponential expression when evaluating it at a given value,
- solve real-world and geometric problems that require evaluating expressions with variable exponents or bases.
Prerequisites
Students should already be familiar with
- exponential expressions,
- evaluating algebraic expressions,
- laws of exponents.
