an expression like 46 is called a power. The exponent 6 represents the number of times the base 4 is used as a factor: exponent base 46 = 4 ● 4 ● 4 ● 4 ● 4 ● 4 power6 factors of 4 expressions containing exponents
Let a and b be numbers and let m and n be integers: to multiply two powers that have the same base add the exponents together: a2a3 = a2 ● a3 = a ● a ● a ● a ● a 2 factors 3 factors = a3+ 2 = a5 multiplying exponents:product of powers property
Let a and b be numbers and let m and n be integers: to find the power of a power, you multiply exponents: (a2)3 = a2● a2● a2 3 factors = a ● a ● a ● a ● a ● a 6 factors = a6 =(a2)3 multiplying exponents:power of a power property
to find the power of a power, you multiply exponents Important Note: when you use the power of product property, it is the quantity within the parentheses that is raised to the power, not the individual terms. For example: (a + 1)3 has 3 factors: (a + 1)3 = (a + 1)(a + 1)(a + 1) multiplying exponents:power of a power property
Let a and b be numbers and let m and n be integers: to find the power of a product, find the power of each factor and multiply: (a ● b)3 = a3● b3 (ab)3 = a3b3 multiplying exponents:power of a product property
Let a and b be numbers and let m and n be integers: Let a be a nonzero number and let n be a positive integer: A nonzero number to the zero power is 1: a0 = 1, a = 0. a-n is the reciprocal of an: a-n = 1/an, a = 0. zero and negative exponents
Let a and b be numbers and let m and n be integers: to divide powers having the same base, subtract exponents: am/an = am – n, a = 0 dividing with exponents:quotient of powers property
Let a and b be numbers and let m and n be integers: to find a power of a quotient, find the power of the numerator and the power of the denominator and divide: (a/b)m = am/bm, b = 0 dividing with exponents:power of a quotient property
Now that you have learned how to multiply and divide expressions with exponents, including zero and negative exponents, check your understanding with these quiz questions! Time for a quiz!
Simplify the following expression: (4x2y)3● x5 quiz question one a. 4x10y3 b. 4x7y3 c. 64x11y3 d. 64x10y3
The correct answer is c: (4x2y)3● x5 = 43● (x2)3● y3● x5 power of a product = 64 ● x6● y3●x5power of a power = 64x11y3product of powers Great job!

You are offered a job that pays 2x dollars or 2x dollars for x hours of work. Assuming you must work at least 2 hours, which method of payment would you choose? quiz question three a. 2x dollars b. 2x dollars
The correct answer is b. If you work more than 2 hours, the pay is much better at the rate of 2x dollars per hour. For example, at 2x dollars per hour, you would earn $256 for 8 hours: 28 = 2 ● 2 ● 2 ● 2 ● 2 ● 2 ● 2 ● 2 = 256 while at 2x dollars per hour , you would earn $16: 2 ● 8 = 16 Great job!
