Page 39 Exercise 1 Answer
Given that, One band’s streaming video concert to benefit a global charity costs $1.00 to view.The first day, the concert got 2,187 views. The second day, it got about three times as many views. On the third day, it got 3 times as many views as on the second day. If the trend continues, we need to determine how much money will the band raise on the day 7.
Using the prime factorization method, the money raised on the last day will be, \(2187 \times 3^7\)
Also, write the number 2187 in terms of prime factorization, we get,
The money will the band raise on the day 7 will be 314
Page 39 Exercise 1 Answer
We need to use prime factorization to write an expression equivalent to the amount of money raised by the band on the last day of the week.
As we know that the money raised on day one is 2187, for each consecutive days the money is getting tripled.
Thus calculating the money raised for each day, we get,
2187 × 3 = 6561
6561 × 3 = 19683
19683 × 3 = 59049
59049 × 3 = 177147
177147 × 3 = 531441
531441 × 3 = 1594323
Thus, on the day 7,the money raised will be $1,594,323
The amount of money raised by the band on the last day of the week will be $1,594,323

We can write equivalent expressions using the properties of integer exponents to simplify the expressions.
Also, we can combine the expressions using these properties.
We can distribute the exponents using these properties.
We can combine the exponents together if the bases are the same.
We can deduce the exponents if the bases are the same and if they are in the division.
In this way, the properties are helpful in simplifying the expressions.
The properties of integer exponents help you write equivalent expressions by combining, distributing and simplifying the powers and bases.
Page 40 Exercise 1 Answer
Given that, the local zoo welcomed a newborn African elephant that weighed 34 It is expected that at adulthood, the newborn elephant will weigh approximately 34 times as much as its birth weight. We need to find the expression that represents the expected adult weight of the newborn elephant.
The weight of the newborn will be 34
The weight of the adult African elephant will be 34 × 34
We can combine the exponents together if the bases are the same using the properties of integer exponents.
Thus, the weight of the adult will be,
34 x 34 = 34+4
= 38
The weight of the adult African elephant will be 38

Given that, your teacher asks the class to evaluate the expression (23)1. Your classmate gives an incorrect answer of 16.
We need to evaluate the expression.
The power of powers property implies multiplying the powers to find the power of powers.
The correct answer is (23)1 = 8
Your teacher asks the class to evaluate the expression (23)1. Your classmate gives an incorrect answer of 16. We need to find which of the following error they made.
(A) Your classmate divided the exponents.
(B) Your classmate multiplied the exponents.
(c) Your classmate added the exponents.
(D) Your classmate subtracted the exponents.
The power of powers property implies multiplying the powers to find the power of powers.
Thus,
(23)1 = 23×1
= 24 = 16
They liked added the exponents.
If they added the exponents, the result will be,
(23)1 = 23+1 = 24 = 16
This will lead to the incorrect answer.
The likely error is that (c) Your classmate added the exponents.
