1) The document explains the steps for solving problems with exponents: write the main number and variables with their exponents, repeat the variables as many times as the exponent, then multiply the numbers and write the remaining exponents. 2) It provides an example of multiplying terms with exponents, showing the steps of writing out the variables according to their exponents and then combining like terms. 3) The author notes their favorite part was solving problems, and least favorite was explaining the steps, in a brief reflection on the unit.

1. Exponents by: Michael Brown

2. Step 1: 130xxxyyyzz The first step is to write your main number then right your variable and its exponent and how ever many exponents it has over the variable that’s how many times it need written. Step 2: 13xyyyyyyz Second step you do the same thing Step 3: 10x2y3z1 Step three is divide your two main number then from the variables you have to cross out the least amount of exponents and write down the number of variables that’s left on top where the exponent goes.

3. 3m2n5p * 4m9n2p3= Step 1: 3mmnnnnnp I first wrote down my main number then I wrote down the variables. Step 2: 4mmmmmmmmmnnppp The next step I did was wrote the amount of variables as many times as how many exponents it had. Step 3:12m7 n3p 2 The last thing I did was multiply my two main numbers and then I looked at how many of each exponents it had on the variable then I crossed the lower amount out in put the remaining up as another exponent.
