Negative Exponents In this tutorial, we will learn about negative exponents. When we change a negative exponent into positive exponent, we write the reciprocal of the given positive exponent. Negative sign means the reciprocal of the given number. For any non zero number a, (a-m = 1/am). Where m is a positive integer and a-m […]

Law of Exponents In this chapter, we will study about law of exponent.  What is an Exponent When a number repeatedly multiplied by itself, multiple times is known as Exponent. Foe example: p raised to q means that p is multiplied by itself q times. = pq = p x p x p x p […]

Exponents and Power Rules In this chapter we will learn about exponent and power. These are very large numbers, and difficult to read, and compare. To make these numbers easy to read, compare and understand we use exponents. Exponents  Definition: When a number repeatedly multiply by itself, we raise it to a power. This is known as […]

Plot Points on Cartesian Coordinate System Example: Plot the point (2, 3) and identify its position in which quadrant is located. First we will place a dot at the intersection of X and Y axis, which is the center of the Cartesian coordinate and known as the origin. From the origin, move 2 units going right. Our point is […]

  Four Quadrants on a Graph  We know that the two axes X and Y divided the plane into four sections. These four sections are called the Quadrants (one fourth section). The plane is called Cartesian plane or Coordinate plane or the XY plane.  The plural of axis is axes. The quadrants are labelled with Roman numbers […]
