  1. Multiplying Monomials

  2. Objectives • Be able to multiply monomials. • Be able to simplify expressions involving powers of monomials.

  3. Vocabulary Power Exponent Base • Monomials - a number, a variable, or a product of a number and one or more variables. • Constant – A monomial that is a real number. • Power – An expression in the form xn. • Base – In an expression of the form xn, the base is x. • Exponent – In an expression of the form xn, the exponent is n.

  5. Writing Out Expressions with Exponents Write out each expression the long way. The exponent tells how many times the base occurs. If the exponent is outside the parentheses, then the exponent belongs with each number and/or variable inside the parentheses.
