Basic Terminology EXPONENT means BASE
This property is used to combine 2 or more exponential expressions with the SAME base. MULTIPLICATION PROPERTIES PRODUCT OF POWERS
Write each product in expanded form, then rewrite in exponential form. • 23. 24 • X5 . X12 • 102. 105 • Generalize your result from above: am . an =
Write the numerator and denominator of each quotient in expanded form. Simplify by eliminating common factors, and then rewrite the remaining in exponential form. • 45/42 • X8/x6 • (0.94)15/ (0.94)5 • Generalize your result from above: am/an
Write each quotient in expanded form, simplify, and rewrite in exponential form. • 23/24 • 45/47 • X3/x8 • Generalize your result from above: 1/an
So, what if the exponent is 0? • 20 • 50 • X0 Generalize your result from above:
Write each product in expanded form, then rewrite in exponential form. • X5 . X12 • 102. 105 • Generalize your result from above: am . an =
PRODUCT OF POWERS MULTIPLICATION PROPERTIES ADD THE EXPONENTS POWER TO A POWER MULTIPLY THE EXPONENTS SUMMARY POWER OF PRODUCT
ZERO AND NEGATIVE EXPONENTS ANYTHING TO THE ZERO POWER IS 1.
