A.A.13 Multiply Monomials How Jeffrey and Genesis worked together to solve problems where they had to multiplya monomial by a monomial. Monomial
October 28, 2013 Jeffrey M. said to Genesis “I don’t know what to do with the exponents in a multiplying problem.” Genesis shared, “When you multiply monomials and they have the same base, add the exponents” Then gave this example:
Genesis’ rule “When you multiply monomials and they have the same base, add the exponents”
Jeffrey’s Turn After seeing Genesis’ example Jeffrey M. said, “That’s easy give me one to try.” Genesis said, “Ok, try this…”
Jeffrey’s Turn 1st Jeffrey said: 2nd Jeffrey Applied Genesis’ Rule. 3rd Jeffrey applied Genesis’ Rule again His Final Answer 1 -1x-2y3
Genesis’ rule “When you multiply monomials and they have the same base, add the exponents”
Take Away • Remember Genesis’ Rule • Jeffrey preserved through a challenge by being persistent & used resources other than the teacher. “When you multiply monomials and they have the same base, add the exponents”
Quick Note Eric’s Rule 1stSubtract exponents when dividing powers with the same base. 2ndSimplify Genesis’ Rule When you multiply monomials and they have the same base, add the exponents. Both of these Rules are known in the math world as the: Laws of Exponents
