Graphical representation of Inequalities:

Example: To show x > 2 graphically, we use an open circle at 2 on the number line and a line to
the right of this point, with an arrow pointing to the right:


The open circle shows that the point is not part of the indicated solution.

Example: To show x ≤1graphically, we use a solid circle at 1 on the number line and a line to the
left of this point, with an arrow pointing to the left:


The solid circle shows that the point is part of the indicated solution

Exponents:

Exponents are a shorthand way to show how many times a number, called the base, are
multiplied times itself. A number with an exponent is said to be "raised to the power" of that
exponent. A base of five raised to the second power is called "five squared" and means "five
times five."
In this example, 10 is the base and 4 is the exponent




    1. a1 = a.
        Any number raised to the power of one equals the number itself.

    2. For any number a, except 0, a0 = 1.
        Any number raised to the power of zero, except zero, equals one.

    3. For any numbers a, b, and c: ab × ac = ab+c.
        We can simply add the exponents when multiplying two powers with the same base.

    4. For any numbers a, b, and c: ab / ac = ab-c.
        We can simply subtract the exponents when dividing two powers with the same base.
