What happens to the value when you increase the exponent by 1?

When you increase the exponent by 1, the value of the number being raised to that exponent will multiply by the base number itself. For example, if you have 2^3 and increase the exponent to 4, the value would be 2^(4) = 2 * 2^3 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 = 16. The value increases exponentially as you raise the exponent by 1.

What happens to the value when you decrease the exponent by 1?

When you decrease the exponent of a number by 1, it means that you are dividing the number by itself. This will result in the value being reduced by a factor of the original number.

How can powers of ten be useful in understanding large and small numbers?

Powers of ten provide a convenient way to represent and compare large and small numbers by using a standardized scale. By increasing or decreasing the exponent of ten, we can easily shift the magnitude of the number, making it simpler to grasp the quantitative relationship between different values. For example, converting 10,000 into scientific notation as 1 x 10^4 helps convey that it is equivalent to 1 followed by four zeros, illustrating its magnitude compared to smaller numbers. This allows us to comprehend exceedingly large or minuscule quantities more efficiently and make calculations or estimations with relative ease.
