1 RATIONAL EXPONENTS Basic terminology Substitution and evaluating
Laws of Exponents Multiplication Properties Product of powers Power to a power Power of a product Zero and negative exponents Division properties of exponents Quotient of powers Power of a quotient

2 Basic Terminology EXPONENT means BASE Important Examples

3 IMPORTANT EXAMPLES Variable Examples

4 Variable Expressions

5 Substitution and Evaluating
STEPS Write out the original problem. Show the substitution with parentheses. Work out the problem. = 64 More Examples

6 Evaluate the variable expression when x = 1, y = 2, and w = -3
Step 1 Step 1 Step 1 Step 2 Step 2 Step 2 Step 3 Step 3 Step 3

7 MULTIPLICATION PROPERTIES
PRODUCT OF POWERS This property is used to combine 2 or more exponential expressions with the SAME base.

8 MULTIPLICATION PROPERTIES
POWER TO A POWER This property is used to write and exponential expression as a single power of the base.

9 MULTIPLICATION PROPERTIES
POWER OF PRODUCT This property combines the first 2 multiplication properties to simplify exponential expressions.

10 MULTIPLICATION PROPERTIES
SUMMARY PRODUCT OF POWERS ADD THE EXPONENTS POWER TO A POWER MULTIPLY THE EXPONENTS POWER OF PRODUCT

11 ZERO AND NEGATIVE EXPONENTS
ANYTHING TO THE ZERO POWER IS 1.

12 DIVISION PROPERTIES QUOTIENT OF POWERS
This property is used when dividing two or more exponential expressions with the same base.

13 DIVISION PROPERTIES POWER OF A QUOTIENT Hard Example
Summary of Zero, Negative, and Division Properties

14 ZERO, NEGATIVE, AND DIVISION PROPERTIES
Zero power Quotient of powers Negative Exponents Power of a quotient
