Perfect Squares
Square Number
 Also called a “perfect square”
 A number that is the square of a
whole number
 Can be represented by
arranging objects in a square.

 One property of a perfect
square is that it can be
represented by a square
4cm array.
 Each small square in the array
4cm 16 cm2 shown has a side length of
1cm.
 The large square has a side
length of 4 cm.
Square Numbers
 The large square has an area
of 4cm x 4cm = 16 cm2.
4cm

 The number 4 is called the


4cm 16 cm2
square root of 16.

 We write: 4 = 16
Square Root
 A number which, when
multiplied by itself, results in
another number.

 Ex: 5 is the square root of 25.

5 = 25
You need to remember:

Perfect Squares Radicals (square roots)


1 = 1 x 1 = 12 √1 = 1
4 = 2 x 2 = 22 √4 = 2
9 = 3 x 3 = 32 √9 = 3
16 = 4 x 4 = 42 √16 = 4
25 = 5 x 5 = 52 √25 = 5
36 = 6 x 6 = 62 √36 = 6
49 = 7 x 7 = 72 √49 = 7
64 = 8 x 8 = 82 √64 = 8
81 = 9 x 9 = 92 √81 = 9
100 = 10 x 10 = 102 √100 = 10

Since 27 is not a perfect square, we
have to use another method to
calculate it’s square root.
Estimating
Square Roots
 Not all numbers are perfect
squares.
 Not every number has an Integer
for a square root.
 We have to estimate square roots
for numbers between perfect
squares.
Estimating
Square Roots
 To calculate the square root of a
non-perfect square

1. Place the values of the adjacent


perfect squares on a number line.

2. Interpolate between the points to


estimate to the nearest tenth.

SCIENTIFIC NOTATION
A QUICK WAY TO WRITE
REALLY, REALLY BIG
OR
REALLY, REALLY SMALL NUMBERS.
How wide is our universe?
210,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
miles
(22 zeros)
This number is written in decimal
notation. When numbers get this
large, it is easier to write them in
scientific notation.
Rules for Scientific
Notation
To be in proper scientific
notation the number must be
written with
* a number between 1 and 10
* and multiplied by a power of
ten
Write the width of the universe in
scientific notation.
210,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 miles
Where is the decimal point now?
After the last zero.
Where would you put the decimal to make
this number be between 1 and 10?
Between the 2 and the 1
2.10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.

How many decimal places did you move


the decimal?
23
When the original number is more than
1, the exponent is positive.
The answer in scientific notation is
2.1 x 1023
1) Express 0.0000000902 in scientific
notation.
Where would the decimal go to make
the number be between 1 and 10?
9.02
The decimal was moved how many
places?
8
When the original number is less than 1,
the exponent is negative.
9.02 x 10-8
Write 28750.9 in scientific
notation.
1. 2.87509 x 10-5
2. 2.87509 x 10-4
3. 2.87509 x 104
4. 2.87509 x 105
2) Express 1.8 x 10-4 in decimal
notation.
0.00018
3) Express 4.58 x 106 in decimal
notation.
4,580,000
Write in PROPER scientific notation.
(Notice the number is not between 1 and 10)
4) 234.6 x 109
2.346 x 1011
5) 0.0642 x 104
6.42 x 10 2
