Check your answer against the answer key.
)f you got % or below* review first the previous module.
)f you got ! or &* proceed to this lesson.
)t is good to know that you can still give the correct multiplication sentence for the
given exponent forms in the review. This time we will try to evaluate the
exponent forms.
When we E+,-.,TE* we are getting the single number that is e/uivalent to the
expression. )n short* we are getting the answer.
-et us take the expressions given in the review and evaluate each.

To evaluate an expression in exponent form0
Rewrite as a multiplication phrase.
.se the associative property of multiplication to
group the factors.
3et the partial products of the grouped factors.
3roup the factors again if necessary.
3et the product of the two remaining factors.
The product of the two remaining factors is the value of the
expression in exponent form.
