Eureka Math Grade 8 Module 1 Lesson 2 Example Answer Key

Examples 1–2
Work through Examples 1 and 2 in the manner just shown. (Supplement with additional examples if needed.)
It is preferable to write the answers as an addition of exponents to emphasize the use of the identity. That step should not be left out. That is, 5²×5⁴=5⁶ does not have the same instructional value as 5²×5⁴=5²⁺⁴.

Example 1.
5²×5⁴=
Answer:
5²⁺⁴

Example 2.
(-\(\frac{2}{3}\))⁴×(-\(\frac{2}{3}\))⁵=(-\(\frac{2}{3}\))⁴⁺⁵
→ What is the analog of x^m∙xⁿ=x^m+n in the context of repeated addition of a number x?
Allow time for a brief discussion.
→ If we add m copies of x and then add to it another n copies of x, we end up adding m+n copies of x. By the distributive law:
mx+nx=(m+n)x .
This is further confirmation of what we observed at the beginning of Lesson 1: The exponent m+n in x^m+n in the context of repeated multiplication corresponds exactly to the m+n in (m+n)x in the context of repeated addition.

Examples 3–4.
Work through Examples 3 and 4 in the manner shown. (Supplement with additional examples if needed.)
It is preferable to write the answers as a subtraction of exponents to emphasize the use of the identity.

Example 3.

Answer:
(\(\frac{3}{5}\))^8-6

Example 4.
\(\frac{4^{5}}{4^{2}}\) =
Answer:
4^5-2

In Exercises 9–16, students need to think about how to rewrite some factors so the bases are the same. Specifically, 2⁴×8²=2⁴×2⁶=2⁴⁺⁶ and 3⁷×9=3⁷×3²=3⁷⁺². Make clear that these expressions can only be combined into a single base because the bases are the same. Also included is a non-example, 5⁴×2¹¹, that cannot be combined into a single base using this identity. Exercises 17–20 offer further applications of the identity.

Exercise 32.
Anne used an online calculator to multiply 2 000 000 000×2 000 000 000 000. The answer showed up on the calculator as 4e+21, as shown below. Is the answer on the calculator correct? How do you know?

Answer:
2 000 000 000×2 000 000 000 000=4 000 000 000 000 000 000 000.
The answer must mean 4 followed by 21 zeros. That means that the answer on the calculator is correct.
This problem is hinting at scientific notation (i.e., (2× 10⁹)(2×10¹²)=4×10⁹⁺¹²). Accept any reasonable explanation of the answer.

Eureka Math Grade 8 Module 1 Lesson 2 Problem Set Answer Key

To ensure success with Problems 1 and 2, students should complete at least bounces 1–4 with support in class. Consider working on Problem 1 as a class activity and assigning Problem 2 for homework.
Students may benefit from a simple drawing of the scenario. It will help them see why the factor of 2 is necessary when calculating the distance traveled for each bounce. Make sure to leave the total distance traveled in the format shown so that students can see the pattern that is developing. Simplifying at any step will make it difficult to write the general statement for n number of bounces.

Question 1.
A certain ball is dropped from a height of x feet. It always bounces up to \(\frac{2}{3}\) x feet. Suppose the ball is dropped from 10 feet and is stopped exactly when it touches the ground after the 30^th bounce. What is the total distance traveled by the ball? Express your answer in exponential notation.

Answer:

Question 2.
If the same ball is dropped from 10 feet and is stopped exactly at the highest point after the 25^th bounce, what is the total distance traveled by the ball? Use what you learned from the last problem.
Answer:
Based on the last problem, we know that each bounce causes the ball to travel 2(\(\frac{2}{3}\))ⁿ 10 feet. If the ball is stopped at the highest point of the 25^th bounce, then the distance traveled on that last bounce is just (\(\frac{2}{3}\))²⁵ 10 feet because it does not make the return trip to the ground. Therefore, the total distance traveled by the ball in feet in this situation is
10+2(\(\frac{2}{3}\))10+2(\(\frac{2}{3}\))² 10+2(\(\frac{2}{3}\))³ 10+2(\(\frac{2}{3}\))⁴ 10+…..+2(\(\frac{2}{3}\))²³10+2(\(\frac{2}{3}\))²⁴10.

Question 3.

Answer:

Question 4.
Let the dimensions of a rectangle be (4×(871209)⁵+ 3×49 762 105) ft. by (7×(871 209)³-(49 762 105)⁴) ft. Determine the area of the rectangle. (Hint: You do not need to expand all the powers.)
Answer:
Area=(4×(871 209)⁵+3×49 762 105) ft.(7×(871 209)³-(49 762 105)⁴ ) ft.
=(28×(871 209)⁸-4×(871 209)⁵ (49 762 105)⁴+21×(871 209)³ (49 762 105)-3×(49 762 105)⁵ ) sq.ft.

Question 5.
A rectangular area of land is being sold off in smaller pieces. The total area of the land is 2¹⁵ square miles. The pieces being sold are 8³ square miles in size. How many smaller pieces of land can be sold at the stated size? Compute the actual number of pieces.
Answer:
8³=2⁹
\(\frac{2^{15}}{2^{9}}\) =2^15-9=2⁶=64
64 pieces of land can be sold.
