Aim: How do we divide a monomial by a monomial?. Do Now: . Divide: 1. 2 . 3. 4 . 5 . . is the same as . = 6 2-1 = 6. Therefore, we just need to subtract the exponents when we divide the monomials with the same bases. = 6xy. = 6 x 3-2 = 6x.

is the same as = 62-1 = 6 Therefore, we just need to subtract the exponents when we divide the monomials with the same bases = 6xy = 6x3-2 = 6x = 6x4-2y3-2 = 6x2y
To divide monomials • 1. divide the coefficients • 2. divide the same variables by subtracting the • exponents • 3. simplify the exponents if the power of a • monomial to another power for both • denominator and numerator then divide
