Connecting B IG ideas and Answering the Essential Questions
l Equivalence
One way to represent
numbers is to use exponents.
A number raised to the
0 power is equal to 1.
Zero and Negative Exponents

Just as there are properties
th a t describe how to rewrite
expressions involving
addition and multiplication,
there are properties th a t
describe how to rewrite and
simplify exponential and
radical expressions.
Properties of Exponents

Rational Exponents and
Radicals (Lesson 7-5)

The fam ily o f exponential
functions has equations
o f the form y = a > b x.
They can be used to model
exponential grow th or decay
and to model geometric
sequences.

Geometric Sequences
(Lesson 7-8)
An explicit formula is a function rule
th a t relates each term o f a sequence
to the term number.
A recursive formula is a function rule
th a t relates each term o f a sequence
to the ones before it.
