AF 2.1 & 2.2 Rules of Exponents/Monomials. Monomial. Monomial - is a term such as 4x. Includes a number and one or more variables. Example: 5x, 3x 2. Like Terms .
E N D
Monomial • Monomial- is a term such as 4x. Includes a number and one or more variables. Example: 5x, 3x2
Like Terms • Like terms are made up of exactly the same variable and the same powers of these variables. In the phrase 2x+3x, the items 2x and 3x are called like terms. Example: Simplify by adding similar or like terms. 2x+4+3x-1 <---- *2x and 3x are like terms. *4 and -1 are like terms. On your paper, combine the like terms and simply the expression.
Answer: 2x+4+3x-1 =5x+3
Whiteboard CFU! Which of the following is a monomial? • 12x • x-y • 4x2
Multiplying Monomials Using the Commutative Property • Commutative Property: We can multiply in any order and the product is the same: a x b = b x a a2b2 = b2a2
Remember! When you are multiplying with identical bases, you simply add the exponents in order to simplify.
Example: a2 X a3 (a x a) X ( a x a x a) -------- = a5 --------
Whiteboard CFU! Commutative property says…. n2 X m is the same as _______ x2 X z2 is the same as _______ p3 X s2 is the same as _______
Whiteboard CFU! 23 X 22 • Write in expanded form__________ • Simplify the following: __________
Whiteboard CFU! • Simplify the following: 5b + 2c +3b + 2 - 5= __________
Whiteboard CFU! • Simplify the following: -4a + (-5a) + 3 - 7 = __________
AF 2.2- Powers of Monomials • An exponent tells how many times a number or variable is used as factor: BIG NOTE: Power of a Power. For any number x, and all integers a and b: (xa )b = xab Example: (23)2= 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 26
Dividing Monomials • x5/x2 = xxxxx ÷ xx= x3 BIG Note: Cancel x/x as 1 Example: Simplify m5 n3/ m2n= ____________ <---Expanded form =_______________ <--- Simplest form
