  1. Dividing Monomials Lesson 7-2: Dividing Monomials SOL A.2a

  2. Objectives • Find the quotient of two monomials. • Simplify expressions containing negative and zero exponents.

  3. Vocabulary! • Zero Exponent: • For any nonzero number a, a0 = 1. Any nonzero number raised to the zero power is equal to 1. • Negative Exponent: • For any real number a ≠ 0 and any integer n, a-n = and = an • Order of Magnitude: • The order of magnitude of a quantity is the number rounded to the nearest power of 10.

  4. Quotient of Powers

  5. Example • Simplify the expression. Assume that no denominator equals zero. = ()() = (x3 – 2)(y4 – 1) = xy3

  6. Power of a Quotient

  7. Examples • Simplify the expression. ()2 = = =

  8. Zero Exponent Property

  9. Example • Simplify the expression. Assume that no denominator equals zero. = = (b4 – 2)(c2 – 1) = b2c

  10. Negative Exponent Property

  11. Example • Simplify the expression. Assume that no denominator equals zero. = ()()()() = (8)(a-8 – 3)(b3 – 5)(c-4 – (-2)) = 8a-11b-2c-2 =

  12. Practice Time! • Find ONE partner and complete page 412 – 413 (1 – 55 odd). Any work that is not finished in class should be completed for homework.
