Lesson 40 Simplifying and evaluating expressions using the power property of exponents
Previous lessons involving exponents • x0 = 1 • x1 = x • xm xn = x m+n • xm= xm-n • xn • x-n= 1 • xn
Raising a power to a power • (24)3 means 24 24 24 = 212 • (32)3 means 32 32 32 = 36 • (a3)5 means a3 a3 a3 a3 a3 = a15
Write a rule for raising a power to a power • (x3)2 (d4)4 • (s3)2 (b6)3 • (102)3 (c5)6
Power of a power property (power rule) • If m and n are real numbers and x does not equal 0, then • (xm)n = xmn
Power of a product property • If m is a real number with x not equal to 0 and y not equal to 0, then • (xy)m = xmym
simplify • (7a3b5)3 • (-2y4)3 • (3g4)3 • (-4m2n3)2
Power of a quotient property • If x and y are nonzero real numbers and m is an integer, then • x m = xm • y ym
simplify • 2x 2-x24 • 5 3y
simplify • (4xy2)2(2x3y)2 • (-5x-2)2(3xy2)4 • (2xy3)2(5x2y)3 • (-4x-3)2(6xy2)3
question • Is 5(x2)3 = (5x2)3 ?
