  1. Rational ExponentsandRadicals By: Jeffrey Bivin Lake Zurich High School jeff.bivin@lz95.org Last Updated: December 11, 2007

  2. Properties of rational Exponents What can we say? Jeff Bivin -- LZHS

  3. Are these equivalent? YES YES YES YES Jeff Bivin -- LZHS

  4. Evaluate each Jeff Bivin -- LZHS

  5. Evaluate Jeff Bivin -- LZHS

  6. Now Consider remember Jeff Bivin -- LZHS

  9. One More or Jeff Bivin -- LZHS

  10. Evaluate Jeff Bivin -- LZHS

  11. 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

  12. 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

  13. 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

  14. 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

  15. 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

  16. 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
