p. 323

Properties of Exponentsa&b are real numbers, m&n are integers

• Product Property:• Quotient of Powers:

• Power of a Power Property: • Power of a Product Property:

• Negative Exponent Property:• Zero Exponent Property: • Power of Quotient:

Example – Product Property

• (-5) 3 (-5) 2 = • (-5)(-5)(-5)(-5)(-5)=• (-5) 5

• (-5)3+2 =• (-5) 5

Example – Product Property

• x5 • x2 = x•x•x•x•x•x•x

• x5+2 =

• x7

Product Property a&b are real numbers, m&n are integers

• Product Property: (am )(an)=am+n

• a3• a5 • a4 =

• a3• a5 • a4 = a3+5+4

• a3• a5 • a4 = a12

Product Property

• (a3 b2) (a4 b6) = • (a3 a4) (b2 b6) = a3+4 b2+6

• a3+4 b2+6 = a7 b8

• (x5 y2) (x4 y7) = • (x5 x4) (y2 y7) = x5+4 y2+7

• x5+2 y2+7 = x9 y9

You try

• (3x6 y4) (4xy7) =

• (3x6 y4) (4xy7) = (3•4)x6+1 • y4+7

• (3•4)x6+1 • y4+7 = 12x7y11

• (2x12 y5) (6x3 y9) =

• (2• 6)x12+3 y5+9 =12x15y14

Do now

• (2x4 y4) (5xy7) =

• (2x4 y4) (5xy7) = (2•5)x4+1 • y4+7

• (2•5)x4+1 • y4+7 = 10x5y11

• (3x14 y5) (9x3 y) =

• (3• 9)x14+3 y5+1 =27x17y6

Dividing Powers with Like bases

• -5 3 = -5• -5• -5-5 2 -5• -5

• -5• -5• -5 = -5

You try

• 45x4y7 = 43x2y6

• 45x4y7 = 45-3 x4-2y7-6

43x2y6

• 45-3 x4-2y7-6 = 42x2y = 16x2y

You try

• 37x9y12 = 34x5y6

• 37x9y12 = 37-4 x9-5 y12-6

34x5y6

• 37-4 x9-5 y12-6= 33x4y8 = 27x4y8

Negative Exponents

• x 2 = x• x_____ x4 x• x • x• x• 1 = x2

• x 2 = x 2 -4 = x-2

X4

x-2 = 1

Negative exponets

• x 3 = x• x_ • x___ x5 x• x • x• x • x• 1 = x3

• x 3 = x 3 -5 = x-3

x5

• x-3 = 1 x3
