1. For the function k(x) below

a. Describe the domain and range

D K x c Il

1.3.1-1.3.2 Classwork

• 1-64. In an expression like ba, b is called the base and a is called

the exponent. An exponent is shorthand for repeated multiplication. For example,
the expression n4 is equivalent to nn ·i n
n ·i n
n·n
n.

• Expand each of the expressions below. For example, to expand x3, you would
write: x · x · x.

a. y7

y yy y y y y
b. 5(2m)3

5 2m 2m 2m

c. (x3)2

X X XX X X
d. 4x5y2

1-64. Rewrite each of the expressions below. Start by expanding the expressions, and
then show how you can write an equivalent expression in simpler form.

• 1-66. Some of the equivalent expressions below are correct, and some are
not. Expand the expressions and use Giant Ones to justify whether or not each pair of
expressions is equivalent. If they are not equivalent, identify the mistake and correctly
simplify the expression on the left side of the equal sign.

Rewrite each expression below as simply as possible. If you see a pattern or know of a shortcut,
be sure to share it with your teammates and provide justification for the shortcut.

1-74. Using the table below, summarize the patterns you found in expanding and
ion.r
simplifying exponents. For each expression in the table below, rewrite the given
expression in a simpler form and then write an expression that represents its
generalization. Then, in your own words, explain why the pattern works.
