PRODUCT RULE OF EXPONENTS MEDIA LESSON Product rule of EXPONENTS (Duration 2:57) View the video lesson, take notes and complete the problems below 3 2=( )( ) = 5 Product rule: = + _____! Example 1: (2x3)(4x2)( 3x) = _____ Example 2: (5a3b7)(2a9b2c4) = _____ Warning!

4 The rule can only apply when you have the same base. YOU TRY Simplify: a) 53510 b) 1 3 2 c) (2 3 5 )(5 2 3) B. QUOTIENT RULE OF EXPONENTS MEDIA LESSON Quotient rule of EXPONENTS (Duration 3:12) View the video lesson, take notes and complete the problems below 5 3= = 2 Quotient Rule: = _____ Example 1: 7 2 3 = _____ Example 2.

5 8 7 46 5 = _____ YOU TRY Simplify a) 71375 b) 5 3 5 22 3 c) 3 5 3 CHAPTER 8 213 C. POWER RULE OF EXPONENTS MEDIA LESSON Power rule of EXPONENTS (Duration 5:00) View the video lesson, take notes and complete the problems below (ab)3=_____ = _____ Power of a product: ( ) = 3=_____ =_____ Power of a Quotient: = , if b is not 0.

6 ( 2)3 = _____ = _____ Power of a Power: ( ) = Example 1: (5 4 )3 Example 2: 5 39 4 2 Warning! It is important to be careful to only use the power of a product rule with multiplication inside parenthesis. This property is not allowed for addition or subtraction, , ( + ) + ( ) YOU TRY Simplify: a) 3 2 5 b) 2352 7 c) ( 3 2)4 d) (4 2 5)3 e) 3 8 5 2 f) 4 8 2 CHAPTER 8 214 D.

7 ZERO AS AN EXPONENT MEDIA LESSON Zero as Exponent (Duration 3:51) View the video lesson, take notes and complete the problems below 3 3=_____ Zero Power Rule: = Example 1: (5 3 5)0 Example 2: (3 2 0)(5 0 4) YOU TRY Simplify the expressions completely a) (3x2)0 b) 2 0 63 5 E. NEGATIVE EXPONENTS MEDIA LESSON Negative EXPONENTS (Duration 4:44) View the video lesson, take notes and complete the problems below 3 5 = _____ =_____ Negative Exponent Rule: = When a and b are not 0.

8 1 = = = Example 1: 7 53 1 4 Example 2: 25 4 Warning! It is important to note a negative exponent does not imply the expression is negative, only the reciprocal of the base. Hence, negative EXPONENTS imply reciprocals. YOU TRY a) 35 1 b) 3 2 2 1 4 CHAPTER 8 215 F. PROPERTIES OF EXPONENTS Putting all the rules together, we can simplify more complex expression containing EXPONENTS .

9 Here we apply all the rules of EXPONENTS to simplify expressions. Exponent Rules Product = + Quotient = Power of Power ( ) = Power of a Product ( ) = Power of a Quotient = Zero Power = Negative Power = Reciprocal of Negative Power = Negative Power of a Quotient = = MEDIA LESSON Properties of EXPONENTS (Duration 5:00) View the video lesson, take notes and complete the problems below Example 1: (4x5y2z)2(2 4 2 3)4 Example 2: 2x2y3 4 x4y 6 2(x 6y4)2 YOU TRY Simplify and write your final answers in positive EXPONENTS .
