Chapter 2 — Exponents and Radical Operations

Chapter 2 focuses on the laws of exponents and how they govern expressions with positive, zero, and negative powers. Students learn scientific notation and how to perform operations with radicals, including rationalizing denominators. They also investigate patterns in the number of factors and decimal representations. This chapter strengthens computational fluency and prepares learners for higher-level algebra.
