I. Overview
Mathematicians, scientists, and economists commonly encounter very large and very small
numbers. But it may not be obvious how common such figures are in everyday life. For instance, a pixel is
the smallest unit of light that can be perceived and recorded by a digital camera. A particular camera
might record an image that is 2,048 pixels by 1,536 pixels, which is a very high resolution picture. It can
also perceive a color depth (gradations in colors) of up to 48 bits per frame, and can shoot the equivalent
of 24 frames per second. The maximum possible number of bits of information used to film a one-hour
(3,600-second) digital film is then an extremely large number.
Using a calculator, we enter 2, 048 × 1,536 × 48 × 24 × 3,600 and press ENTER. The calculator
displays 1.304596316E13. What does this mean? The “E13” portion of the result represents the exponent
13 of ten, so there are a maximum of approximately 1.3 × 1013 bits of data in that one-hour film. In this
module, we review rules of exponents first and then apply them to calculations involving very large or
small numbers.

SOLUTION
1
5𝑎2 𝑏 − 2𝑎𝑐 + 4 = 5(−2)2 (1) − 2(−2) ( ) + 4

= 5(4)(1) – 2(-1) +4
= 20 +2 + 4
= 26
