Module 1 Day 3 Power Properties
Properties of Exponents Product of Powers: When multiplying two monomials, you must multiply the coefficients, but add the exponents. Power of a Power: When taking a monomial to a power, you must take the coefficient to the given power, but multiply the exponents together. Power of a Product: When taking the product of two variables, you must distribute the power by multiplying the power to both of the variables. Power of a Monomial: When taking the power of a monomials, you must distribute the power by taking the power of the coefficient, and multiplying all the exponents by the new exponent.
Properties of Exponents Quotient of a Monomial: When you divide the monomials, you divide the coefficients and subtract the powers. Zero Exponent: Any number or variable with an exponent of zero becomes 1. Negative Exponents: If an exponent is negative on top of a fraction, you make it positive and move it to the bottom of the fraction. If an exponent is negative on the bottom of a fraction, you make it positive and move it to the top of the fraction.
