Topic 5 Exponents and Radicals – Mathematics Form Two
Numbers can be expressed in different ways, each of which illustrates how mathematical problems can be approached and solved.
Simplifying complex problems with challenging equations and solving exponential such as growth and electrical networks may require an understanding of exponents and radicals.
In this chapter, you will learn the laws of exponents, perform operations on radicals, and rationalize denominators. The competencies developed will enable you to express numbers in short form and apply the knowledge to describe scientific phenomena such as population growth, magnitude of earthquakes, rates of spread of diseases and rate of growth or decay of bacteria, and many other real-life applications.
Numbers can be expressed in different ways depending on the context and how they are used. Some of these ways include the use of exponents and radicals. Engage Activity 5.1 to explore different ways of expressing numbers.
