EXPONENT LAWS & COMBINING LIKE TERMSAugust 27th

Exponents Line-Up Look at your expression and evaluate!

Line up in order from biggest to smallest!

Type in your calculator (-2)0=___.

Type in your calculator (200)0=____.

Type in your calculator (1/4)0=___.

Type in your calculator (5.14)0=____.

Do you notice a pattern?

So we can say that any time you see a 0 exponent, the expression is equivalent to 1.

Try 00:

This is never equal to 1.

This also works if your base is a variable.

So for instance (x)0 = 1, for all x 0.

Even if it looks like this (xyz)0 = 1.

Even if it looks like this (x3 + x2y – 25xy2 + 50)0 = 1

It doesn’t matter what it looks like because anything to the 0 power is 1.

Exponent Law:

So we can say that bases with a negative exponent switch sides.

Notation (MOVE IT AND LOSE IT)So to make it simpler for solving. You

need to rewrite expressions, so that all of the exponents become positive.

For example:

33

414

13

31 3

3

Try These:1. 3-2

2. 6-1

3. (-4)-2

1.

2.

When a fraction is in parentheses with a negative exponent, DISTRIBUTE the exponent

and MOVE your terms.

How about fractions!

Combining Like Terms You can only COMBINE terms that match.
