Exponential Expression and Inequality Question

[Riley]

Part A: Write an exponential expression that has a value greater that 12 ^2(exponent 2) but less than 12^8. Your exponential expression shoud also have 12 as teh base number.


Part B: Write an inequality to represent the minimun and maximum values of whole number exponents you can use to answer Part A. Let x represent the exponent in your exponential expression. Explain your thinking.

Use what you know about exponential expressions (and their values). Hint: What values might be between 2 and 8?

Part B: Write an inequality to represent the minimum and maximum values of whole number exponents you can use to answer Part A. Let x represent the exponent in your exponential expression. Explain your thinking.
