Game: THE BEETLE AND THE BEE
Aim: Collect the strawberries, avoid the bees
Method:
Move the beetle with the arrow keys or by tapping the screen. When the beetle catches the strawberry, you must answer the question. If you get it right you keep the strawberry and earn points.
Your final score is based on the time taken minus health lost divided by 10.
8th grade / Number / Powers & Roots / Indices / Multiply indices
Indices are terms that have been raised to a power such as 5⁶ or x³ or 4y⁴. Raised to the power means the term has been multiplied by itself that number of times.
4³ = 4 x 4 x 4 and a⁵ = a x a x a x a x a
So the term indice simply means a number or term raised to a power.
In order to be able to multiply indices by adding powers, the indices must have the same base. So a³ and a⁶ have the same base "a", but x³ and y⁶ do not have the same base and cannot be simplified using the methods on this page.
To see why we can add powers to multiply indices with the same base, consider the expression a³ x a⁴. If we expand both indices we get:
(a x a x a) x (a x a x a x a) = a x a x a x a x a x a x a = a⁷
So we can see that multiplying a³ x a⁴ gives us a multiplied by itself 7 times, which you will notice is the same as adding the powers of the two terms.
a³ x a⁴ = a⁷
y⁴ x y⁴ = y⁸
If one or more of the terms is raised to a negative power, you follow the standard rules of arithmetic to compute the powers through adding and taking away.
p⁵ x p³ x p⁻³ = p⁵
p⁻⁵ x p⁴ x p⁻³ = p⁻⁴
If there are coefficients associated with the indices, multiply the coefficients first then add the powers to simplify the expression.
6y⁴ x 7y⁴ = 42y⁸
7p⁵q³ x 4p⁻³q² = 28p²q⁵
With our The beetle and the bee math game you will be practicing the topic "Multiply indices" from 8th grade / Number / Powers & Roots / Powers & Roots. The math in this game consists of 16 questions that ask you to multiply indices with the same base by adding powers e.g. 5a³ x 6a² = 30a⁵.
Fast moving interactive game to learn math where you control the beetle and the bee moves randomly about the screen. The bee should be avoided and the strawberries collected by answering math questions from the topic you have selected - this is learning math for fun!
