Game: CAT AND MOUSE
Aim: Catch the white mice
Method:
Move the cat with the arrow keys or by tapping in the game area to catch the white mouse. Avoid the red balloons but hit the blue balloons.
Your final score is based on all of that plus number of questions answered right, and the time taken.
8th grade / Number / Powers & Roots / Indices / Divide Indices
Indices are terms that have been raised to a power such as 5βΆ or yβ΄. This means the term has been multiplied by itself that number of times.
6β΄ = 6 x 6 x 6 x 6 and yβ΅ = y x y x y x y x y
So the term indice simply means a number or term raised to a power.
Indices with the same base can be divided by subtracting powers. So aΒ³ and aβΆ have the same base "a", but xΒ³ and yβΆ do not have the same base and cannot be simplified by subtracting powers.
To understand why dividing indices with the same base involves subtracting powers, consider xβ· Γ· xβ΄. If we expand both indices we get:
x x x x x x x x x x x x x
x x x x x x x
Since we know that x divided by x is 1, we can cancel terms top and bottom to simplify the expression leaving x x x x x.
xβ· Γ· xβ΄ = xΒ³
So we can see that dividing xβ· by xβ΄ gives us xΒ³. In general, you can divide indices with the same base by subtracting the powers.
If one or more of the terms is raised to a negative power, you should follow simple arithmetic rules to subtract the powers.
pβ»β΅ Γ· pΒ³ = pβ»βΈ
pβ»β΅ Γ· pβ»Β³ = pβ»Β²
If there are coefficients in front of the bases, divide the coefficients first and then subtract the powers.
15pβ΅ Γ· 3pΒ³ = 5pβ΅
With our Cat and mouse math game you will be practicing the topic "Divide Indices" from 8th grade / Number / Powers & Roots / Powers & Roots. The math in this game consists of 16 questions that ask you to divide indices with the same base by subtracting powers e.g. 6bβ΅ Γ· 2bΒ² = 3bΒ³.
Cat versus mouse game with added balloons for math and fun. You are the ginger cat, and your life is being made a misery by some white mice which have come into the house and are proving hard to catch. Not to mention there is a mouse house party going on and lots of balloons getting in the way of your hunting.
So you have to catch the white mice, forget about the gray mice, hit the blue balloons but avoid the red balloons, and answer math questions (you are a CLEVER cat...). If it sounds complicated and a bit frantic, that's because it is. Do your best but don't worry if you can't catch all the mice - neither can we. It's a cat's life...
