Game: UXO
Aim: Knock out the targets, avoid the bombs
Method:
Click or tap and hold to destroy the objects while avoiding the bombs. When you knock out all 10 targets, you must answer the question to continue to the next level. There is a time limit of 30 seconds to get all 10 targets or you lose 50 points.
Scoring is :
Hit target : +10
Hit bomb : -5
Right answer : +50
Wrong answers : -20
8th grade / Number / Powers & Roots / Indices / Multiply indices
Indices are terms that have been raised to a power such as 5ā¶ or xĀ³ or 4yā“. Raised to the power means the term has been multiplied by itself that number of times.
4Ā³ = 4 x 4 x 4 and aāµ = 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 aĀ³ and aā¶ have the same base "a", but xĀ³ and yā¶ 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 aĀ³ x aā“. 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 = aā·
So we can see that multiplying aĀ³ x aā“ gives us a multiplied by itself 7 times, which you will notice is the same as adding the powers of the two terms.
aĀ³ x aā“ = aā·
yā“ x yā“ = yāø
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.
pāµ x pĀ³ x pā»Ā³ = pāµ
pā»āµ x pā“ x pā»Ā³ = pā»ā“
If there are coefficients associated with the indices, multiply the coefficients first then add the powers to simplify the expression.
6yā“ x 7yā“ = 42yāø
7pāµqĀ³ x 4pā»Ā³qĀ² = 28pĀ²qāµ
With our UXO 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. 5aĀ³ x 6aĀ² = 30aāµ.
UXO is a fun game to learn math where you attempt to knock over all the target objects while avoiding clicking / tapping on the bombs.
After each level, win an additional 50 points by correctly answering a math question from your selected topic. Wrong answers lose you 20 points but you can answer multiple times. Each level lasts 30 seconds: if you haven't cleared all the targets in that time, you lose 50 points. High scores can be added to the UXO leaderboards.
