## HMH Into Math Grade 8 Module 12 Lesson 1 Answer Key Know and Apply Properties of Exponents

I Can use properties of integer exponents to simplify expressions.

Alex has a rope that is 24, or 16 feet long. He folds the rope in half and cuts it, so he now has two pieces of rope that are each 23, or 8 feet long. Alex then folds each of the new pieces in half and cuts them, so he now has four pieces of rope that are each 22, or 4 feet long. Alex repeats this process until his pieces of rope are each 1 foot long. What would happen if Alex took each 1-foot section of rope and continued this process? What pattern do you notice?

24 = 16 feet
23 = 8 feet
2² = 4 feet
2¹ = 2 feet
20 = 1 feet

Turn and Talk Look for patterns in how these pairs are related: 2-3 and 23, 2-2 and 22, 2-1 and 21. What generalization can you make about a-b, where a and b are natural numbers (1, 2, 3,…)?

Question 1.
The patterns in the Spark Your Learning lead to the following two properties of exponents.

Connect to Vocabulary
The properties of exponents are rules for operations with exponents. In the power 24, 2 is the base and 4 is the exponent.

If a ≠ 0 and b is an integer, then a-b = $$\frac{1}{a^{b}}$$
If a ≠ 0, then a0 = 1.

A. You can look for patterns to develop the product of powers property for multiplying powers with the same base. Complete the table.

B. How are the exponents in the left column and the exponent in the right column related?
When the bases are equal exponents should be added.
In the left side the bases are equal the exponents are added in the right column.

C. You also can look for patterns to develop the quotient of powers property for dividing powers with the same base. Complete the table.

D. How are the exponents in the left column and the exponent ¡n the right column related?
Here we are using the Quotient property.
when dividing the two exponents with the same nonzero real number then the difference of the exponents with the same base.

E. Make a conjecture about two additional properties of exponents based on your findings.
The additional property is when the bases are equal then the exponents should be added.

Turn and Talk Can you use the properties of exponents you discovered to simplify 52 • 25? If so, how? If not, why not?
Given that the expression is
52 • 25
Here we are using the product property.
When multiplying the two exponents with nonzero real numbers then the powers should be added.
= 25 + 32
= 57
52 • 25= 57

Step It Out

Question 2.
In 2002, a high school student broke the record for folding a sheet of paper in half multiple times. When the paper was opened, the number of regions formed was (24)3. How many times did the student fold the paper? To answer, you can develop the power of a power property.
A. First look for patterns using specific examples of a power of a power. Complete the table.

B. How are the exponents in the far-left column and the exponent in the far-right column related?
The ____________ of the exponents in the far-left column equals the ____________ in the far-right column.
Answer: The bases of the exponents in the far-left column equals the multiplication of the exponents in the far-right column.

C. Complete the conjecture about a property of exponents based on your findings:
If a ≠ 0, then .
If an exponent is raised to other exponent, then you can multiply the two exponents.
If a≠ 0, then

D. The number of regions formed by the high school student’s folded paper was (24)3. Use a single exponent to write this expression.
(24)3 =
If an exponent is raised to other exponent, then you can multiply the two exponents.
(24)3 = 212

E. How many times did the student fold the paper in half?
The student folded the paper _________ times. This is because 1 fold results in regions, 2 folds results in regions, and so on.
Continuing the pattern shows that ___________ folds results in regions.
The student folded the paper for 1times. This is because 1-fold results in 21 regions, 2 folds results in 22regions, and so on.
Continuing the pattern shows that 12 folds result in 212 regions.

Turn and Talk Does the property of exponents you discovered apply to negative powers? For example, can you use it to simplify (7-2)2? Explain.
