Properties of rational Exponents What can we say? Jeff Bivin -- LZHS
Are these equivalent? YES YES YES YES Jeff Bivin -- LZHS
Evaluate each Jeff Bivin -- LZHS

Evaluate Let's make this easier! 5 goes into 14 how many times? How many left over? 5 goes into 26 how many times? How many left over? 5 goes into 33 how many times? How many left over? Jeff Bivin -- LZHS
Evaluate 7 goes into the exponent 34 how many times? How many left over? 7 goes into the exponent 14 how many times? How many left over? 7 goes into the exponent 23 how many times? How many left over? Jeff Bivin -- LZHS
Evaluate Don’t forget, even root – we need to use absolute value 4 goes into the exponent 15 how many times? How many left over? 4 goes into the exponent 18 how many times? How many left over? 4 goes into the exponent 29 how many times? How many left over? An even power can come out of the absolute value Jeff Bivin -- LZHS
Evaluate: 3 goes into the power 4 how many times? How many left over? 3 goes into the power 2 how many times? How many left over? simplify Jeff Bivin -- LZHS
Evaluate: 2 goes into the power 5 how many times? How many left over? 2 goes into the power 3 how many times? How many left over? simplify Jeff Bivin -- LZHS
Evaluate: 2 goes into the power 7 how many times? How many left over? 2 goes into the power 2 how many times? How many left over? 2 goes into the power 9 how many times? How many left over? 2 goes into the power 27 how many times? How many left over? simplify Jeff Bivin -- LZHS
