P.2 INTEGER AND RATIONAL NUMBER EXPONENTS (الاسس الصحيحة والنسبية) Objectives: • Properties of Exponents • Scientific Notation • Rational Exponents and Radicals • Simplifying Radical Expressions
Def: If a is a real number and n is a positive integer, then Ex: Ex:
Laws of Exponents Law Example
Converting a Decimal to Scientific Notation 1. Count the number N of places that the decimal point must be moved in order to arrive at a number x, where 1 <x< 10. 2. If the original number is greater than or equal to 1, the scientific notation is 3. If the original number is between 0 and 1, the scientific notation is
Decimal notation 9 digits Decimal notation 4 digits Ex: Write the number 5,100,000,000 in scientific notation. 5,100,000,000.0 Ex: Write the number 0.00032 in scientific notation. 0 . 0 0 0 3 2
Ex 0.000043
Rational Exponents If a is a real number and n> 2 is an integer, then , the nth radical of a n is called the index of the radical a is called the radicand
If a is a real number and m and n are integers containing no common factors with n> 2, then

Simplifying A Radical: For a radical to be simplified, the radicand cannot contain any factors that are perfect roots (i.e. exponents are evenly divisible by the index). To simplify the radical we do the following : • Factor the radicand into prime factors using exponential notation (or, express the radicand as a product of factors in which one factor is the largest perfect nth power possible).
Use the product rule and the laws of exponents to rewrite the radical as a product of two radicals such that: • First radicand: contains factors that are perfect roots (i.e. exponents are evenly divisible by the index). • Second radicand: contains factors are not perfect roots (the indices are smaller than the index). Extract the perfect root from the first radicand.
Like Radicals: Addition/Subtraction Ex: Simplify
Rationalizing Denominators (انطاق الج|ور) • For an expression containing a radical to be in simplest form, a radical cannot appear in the denominator • The process of removing a radical from the denominator or the numerator of a fraction is calledrationalizing the denominator.
Ex: Rationalize the denominator of the following expressions: Multiply by the conjugate Simplify
Ex: Simplify each expression. Express the answer so only positive exponents occur.
