    Su Chin keeps her turtle, Larry, in a glass tank that is 14 3  cubic inches. Larry loves to eat and is growing at an alarming  rate , and Su Chin will soon need a larger tank for him. She looks at an online pet store and sees that they have two tanks for sale: one is 2,744 cubic inches, and the other is 4,096 cubic inches. How can Su Chin compare the size of her tank to the new tanks to ensure she buys a larger one?
    ::苏钦把她的乌龟拉里留在一个143立方英寸的玻璃罐中。 拉里喜欢吃,并且正在以惊人的速度增长,苏钦很快需要更大的坦克来为他服务。 她看着一家在线宠物店,看到两辆坦克可以出售:一辆是2,744立方英寸,另一辆是4,096立方英寸。 苏钦如何把她的坦克大小与新坦克相比,以确保她购买更大的坦克?

    In this concept, you will learn how to evaluate and compare powers.
    ::在这个概念中,你将学会如何评估和比较权力。

    Powers
    ::强 权 强 权

    4 2

    Let's consider this expression.
    ::让我们考虑一下这个表达方式。

    The large number, 4, is the  base . The base is the number to be multiplied by itself.
    ::大数,4是基数。基数是自动乘以的数字。

    The small number, 2, is the  exponent . The exponent tells you how many times to multiply the base by itself. The exponent is also known as a  power.
    ::数字小, 2 是一个指数。 该指数告诉你多少次自己乘以基数。 该指数也被称为一种力量 。

    Once you know the base and exponent, you can evaluate the expression. Evaluating an expression with an exponent means to complete the indicated multiplication and write the result as a product.
    ::一旦您知道该表达式的基数和表情,您就可以对表达式进行评价。用一个表情来评价表达式,以完成标注的乘数,并将结果写成产品。

    Consider the expression above,  4 2 .
    ::考虑上文的表述,4 2。

    First, identify the base, in this case 4.
    ::首先,确定基地,在此情况下4。

    Then, identify the exponent, in this case 2.
    ::然后,先确认前言者,在本案2中。

    Next, write the expression as the base multiplied by itself the number of times indicated by the exponent:
    ::下一步,将表达式写成基数乘以指数显示的次数:

    4 2 = 4 × 4

    Finally, perform the multiplication.
    ::最后,执行乘法。

    4 2 = 4 × 4 = 16

    NOTE : A common error related to   is to multiply the base by the exponent. Don't do that! Clearly, since  4 2 = 4 × 4   = 16  and  4 × 2 = 8 , they aren't the same thing.
    ::注:一个常见的错误是将基数乘以指数。 不要这样做! 显然, 由于 4 2 = 4 × 4 = 16 = 4 × 2 = 8, 它们不是一回事 。

    You can also compare the values of powers using symbols:  >  (greater than),  <  (less than) and  =  (equal to).
    ::您也可以使用符号来比较功率的值 : > (大于)、 < (小于) 和 = (等于) 。

    To compare the values of different powers, you will need to evaluate each power and then compare them.
    ::为了比较不同力量的价值观,你需要评估每一力量,然后比较它们。

    Let's look at an example.
    ::让我们举个例子。

    Evaluate  1 100
    ::评价 1 100

    This looks a bit intimidating, since the power is so large. However, since the base is 1, and regardless how many times you multiply 1 by itself, it is always 1, this is actually not difficult at all.
    ::这看起来有点吓人,因为权力如此巨大。然而,由于基数是1,不管你自己乘乘1多少倍,这实际上并不困难。

    The answer is:   1 100 = 1 × 1 × 1... × 1 = 1
    ::答案是: 1 100 = 1 × 1 × 1 × 1 × 1 × 1 × 1 × 1 × 1 × 1 = 1

    In fact, 1 to any power is equal to 1.
    ::事实上,一对一等于任何权力等于一。

    Examples
    ::实例

    Example 1
    ::例1

    Earlier, you were given a problem about Su Chin and her rapidly growing reptile.
    ::早些时候,你被问及苏钦和她迅速成长的爬行动物的问题。

    Su Chin needs to compare her current tank, which is 14 3  cubic inches, with two possible replacements that measure 2,744 cubic inches, and 4,096 cubic inches, in  order  to choose the largest tank.
    ::Su Chin需要比较她目前的储油罐(143立方英寸)和两个可能的替代物(2,744立方英寸和4,096立方英寸),以便选择最大的储油罐。

    First, evaluate the power of Su Chin’s current tank.
    ::首先,评估Su Chin目前坦克的威力。

    14 3  = 14 x 14 x 14 = 2,744
    ::143=14x14x14=2 744

    The answer is 2,744 cubic inches.
    ::答案是2 744立方英寸

    Then, compare those dimensions to the other tanks, using < , > , or =.
    ::然后,用 < 、 > 或 = 来将这些尺寸与其他罐体进行比较。

    2,744 = 2,744

    2,744 < 4,096

    The answer is the second tank is largest.
    ::答案是第二辆坦克最大

    The first tank is the same size as Su Chin’s current tank, at 2,744 cubic inches. The second tank is greater in size, at 4,096 cubic inches.
    ::第一个罐体的尺寸与Su Chin目前的罐体的尺寸相同,为2,744立方英寸。 第二个罐体的尺寸更大,为4,096立方英寸。

    Su Chin can now buy the second tank in order to upgrade Larry’s home to a spacious 4,096 cubic inches.
    ::Su Chin现在可以买第二辆坦克, 将Larry的家升级为4 096立方英寸宽的4 096立方英寸。

    Example 2
    ::例2

    Insert > , < or = in the blank.
    ::在空白中插入 > 、 < 或= 。

    4 5 _ 5 4

    First, evaluate each number.
    ::首先,评估每个数字。

    4 5 = 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 = 16 × 4 × 4 × 4 = 64 × 4 × 4 = 256 × 4 = 1024 5 4 = 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 = 25 × 5 × 5 = 125 × 5 = 625
    Then, compare the values. 1024 > 625

    The answer is  4 5 > 5 4
    ::答案是4 5 > 5 4

    Example 3
    ::例3

    Evaluate the expression  2 6 .
    ::评估表达方式 2 6 。

    First, identify the base, in this case 2
    ::首先,确定基准点,在此情况下2

    Then, identify the exponent, in this case 6.
    ::然后,先确认出名者,在本案的6。

    Next, consider the expression as the base multiplied by itself the number of times indicated by the exponent:
    ::接下来,将表达式视为基数乘以表情所示的次数:

    2 6 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2
    Finally, perform the multiplication.
    2 6 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 4 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 8 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 16 × 2 × 2 = 32 × 2 = 64
     The answer is 64.

    Example 4
    ::例4

    Evaluate the expression  6 3 .
    ::评估表达方式 6 3

    First, identify the base, in this case 6.
    ::首先,确定基数,在此情况下是6。

    Then, identify the exponent, in this case 3.
    ::然后,确认前台,在此情况下,3。

    Next, consider the expression as the base multiplied by itself the number of times indicated by the exponent:
    ::接下来,将表达式视为基数乘以表情所示的次数:

    6 3 = 6 × 6 × 6
    Finally, perform the multiplication.
    6 3 = 6 × 6 × 6 = 36 × 6 = 216
    The answer is 216.

    Example 5
    ::例5

    Which is greater?   2 7 _   5 3
    ::哪个更大? 2 7_ 5 3

    First, evaluate each number.
    ::首先,评估每个数字。

    2 7 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 4 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 8 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 16 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 32 × 2 × 2 = 64 × 2 = 128 5 3 = 5 × 5 × 5 = 25 × 5 = 125

    Finally, compare the values. 128 > 125.
    ::最后,比较数值。 128 > 125。

    The answer is  2 7 > 5 3 .
    ::答案是2 7 > 5 3。
