1.) Students will simplify the following terms, show their work, and write the answers using an exponent. They may use calculators to check their results: 
  • (4)(4)(4)(4)(4) x (4)(4)(4) x (4)(4)
  • (6)(6)(6)(6)(6)(6)(6)(6)(6) / (6)(6)(6)
  • (-3)(-3) + (-3)(-3)(-3)
  • (2)(2)(2) - (-2)(-2)(-2) 

  • 1.) Evaluate: 
  • (x)(x)(x) (x)(x)(x)(x) (x)(x) (x)
  • (y)(y)(y)(y)(y)(y) / (y)(y)(y)(y)
  • (2 (b)(b)(c)(c)(c) )(2b(c)(c)(c)(c) ) 
    2.) Evaluate:
  • (4x(x)y)(6xy)
  • (4x(x)y) / (6xy) 
    3.) Evaluate:
  • (4x - 3) (6x)
