Answer 1

Hi, Sammy!
Are you going to be doing your calculations by hand or by using a calculator?

Right off, what are the values of 8^0 and 8^1?

Answer 2

i am doing it by calculator.
and they're 0 and 8

Answer 3

or wait.. would it be 8 and 64?

Answer 4

Mind trying 8^0 again? That's \[8^{0}.\]

Answer 5

What brand calculator have you?

Answer 6

texas instruments
the ti-84 plus

Answer 7

Type this into your calculator: 8^0

Answer 8

oh okay it's 1 then

Answer 9

Right. and 8^1 produces what result?

Answer 10

8

Answer 11

so would i do the same thing with the negative numbers too?

Answer 12

That's right. and 8^-3?

Answer 13

.0019

Answer 14

Determine whether 8^-3 and 8^(-3) produce the same result.

Answer 15

That way, you'll know whether you have to use those parentheses or not.

Answer 16

Now please fill in the table, using the x values {-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3}. Graph the resulting (x,y).

Answer 17

yeah they give the same answer. it says round to three decimal places and i got
.001953
so would it be rounded to .010?

Answer 18

You'd do exactly the same thing for the other problem, except that your base would now by 3.29.

3.29^0, 3.29^1, 3.29^-3, and so on.

0.001953, rounded to 3 decimal places, would result in 0.002. That '9' requires that you round up.

Answer 19

oh yeah. that's what confused me. okay i got it now.
thank you :)

Answer 20

Note that I'm not actually checking your answers; I just want to make certain you're on the right track. I'm so pleased that you've "got it." You're welcome.
