Simplifying Exponential Expressions • There are No Negative Exponents • The same base does not appear more than once • In a Product or Quotient • No Powers are raised to Powers • No Products are raised to Powers • No Quotients are Raised to Powers • Numerical Coefficients in a quotient do not have any common factor other than “1” ExamplesNon Examples
Product of Powers Property • The product of two powers with the same base (Value or Variable) equals that base raised to the sum of the exponents • Rule • If they have the exact (same) base, add the exponents • REMEMBER • Any constant or variable without an exponent, has an exponent with the value of “1” • EXAMPLES
Scientific Notation Example • Light from the sun travels at about 1.86 x 105miles per second. It takes about 500 seconds for the light to reach the earth. Find the Distance from the Sun to the Earth and write answer in Scientific Notation. • We can not multiply as is • We must change 500 to scientific Notation • Then use the distance formula
Power of a Power Property • A Power raised to another power equals that base raised to the product of the exponents • Rule • Remember that if no exponent is written the exponent is “1” • Example
7.4 Division Properties of Exponents Pg. 467 Quotient of Powers Property Positive Power of a Quotient Property Negative Power of a Quotient Property
Quotient of Powers Property • The quotient of two non-zero powers with the same base equals the base raised to the difference of the exponents • Rule • Example
Positive Powers of a Quotient • A quotient raised to a positive power equals the quotient of each base raised to that power • Examples
Negative Power of a Quotient • A quotient raised to a negative power equals the reciprocal of the quotient raised to the opposite (positive) power • Examples
