Multiplying • When exponents have the same base add the exponents and simplify. • 5 x 5 • 7 x 7 • 8 x 8
Dividing • When the expressions are the same, subtract the exponents and simplify. • 435 4 3 5
Power raised to another power • To find the value of an exponential expression with an exponents, multiply the exponents. • (3 ) • (2 ) • (6 ) • When a product has an exponent, the exponent applies to each factor. • (9x )
Quotients with exponents • When a quotient has an exponent, the exponent applies to each term. • (⅔) • (½) • (⅖)
Understanding Square and Cube Roots • X is the square root of a nonnegative nimber n if x =n. For example, 7 is the square root of 49 because 7x7=49. It is also true that -7 is the square root of 49 because -7x-7=49. • Solve for x • X =169 x =100
The principal square root is the positive number • What is the principal square root of 49, and 100 • Sometimes you may be ask to find the square root of a fraction. Take the square root of the numerator and then the denominator. • EX.
Cube Roots • X is the cube root of a number n if x =n. The symbol for cube root is . • 4x4x4 is 64 so 64=4 • Find the cube root of each of the following • -125 216
