1. The more you eat - the fatter you get
Simply tells you to 'multiply this number x times.' So 2^3= 2x2x2 or 8. The number you multiply is called the base and the little superscript number that tells you how many times to multiply the base is called an exponent or a power. So in 3^2 - 3 is

So 16=4 or -4 b/c both (4)^2 and (-4)^2=16 you cannot add these unless they have a common root. so 2+2=2 but 2+3 doesn't equal 5. To multiply and divide just treat them as regular integers: 6x3=18 or 3/2 basically they're subject to the same rules as

2. Even number
Number is one that can be divided evenly by 2. numbers are whole and they end in 2 - 4 -6 -8 - or 0. The number zero (0) is considered this.
If you need to add or subtract two fractions that have the same denominator - simply add or subtract their numerators - like this: 3/4+1/4=4/4 or 1 - If the numbers in the denominators are different - this opertation will invovle a couple of extra s

7. Negative exponents
It ends in 0 - 2 - 4 -6 - or 8
Are numbers that can be divided into another number without leaving a remainder. For example - the numbers 1 -2 -3 -4 -6 and 12 are the factors of 12.
When you see this just turn the base into a fraction by putting a 1 over it and proceed as you would with a nonnegative exponent so 3^-2=(1/3)^2=1/9
