What's on the worksheet

  1. Simplify powers of powers and powers of products:
    (w^3)^8(-2x^3)^4(5a^2b^3)^2\left(\dfrac{x}{3}\right)^4(-4c^5)^3
  2. Fill in each blank so the equation is true for every value of the letters:
  3. Write a product of powers with different bases as a single power and a power of 10.
  4. Word problem: bytes in a kilobyte, a megabyte and a gigabyte.
  5. Find what Ethan did wrong in four expressions and correct each one:
  6. Write each number as a single power of 2, then order them from least to greatest.
  7. Find the whole number that makes each equation true:
  8. Compare (2x) cubed with 2 times x cubed, and explain why the first is always the same whole-number multiple.
