119 Slide 1- 119 Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Example 9 Divide Solution Write an equivalent multiplication. Divide out the common factor, 5. Because we are dividing two numbers that have different signs, the result is negative.

120 Slide 1- 120 Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Dividing Decimal Numbers To divide decimal numbers, set up a long division and consider the divisor. Case 1: If the divisor is an integer, divide as if the dividend were a whole number and place the decimal point in the quotient directly above its position in the dividend. Case 2: If the divisor is a decimal number, 1. Move the decimal point in the divisor to the right enough places to make the divisor an integer. 2. Move the decimal point in the dividend the same number of places.

121 Slide 1- 121 Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Dividing Decimal Numbers continued 3. Divide the divisor into the dividend as if both numbers were whole numbers. Make sure you align the digits in the quotient properly. 4. Write the decimal point in the quotient directly above its new position in the dividend. In either case, continue the division process until you get a remainder of 0 or a repeating digit (or block of digits) in the quotient.

122 Slide 1- 122 Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Example 10 Divide  44.64 ÷ (  3.6) Solution Because the divisor is a decimal number, we move the decimal point enough places to the right to create an integer—in this case, one place. Then we move the decimal point one place to the right in the dividend. Because we are dividing two numbers with the same sign, the result is positive.

123 Slide 1- 123 Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Example 10 continued Divide  44.64 ÷ (  3.6) Solution

124 Slide 1- 124 Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Example 11 Martha was decorating cookies. She used 2/3 of a container of frosting that was 3/4 full. What fractional part of the container did she use? Solution To find 2/3 of 3/4, multiply.

130 Slide 1- 130 Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Objective 1 Evaluate numbers in exponential form.

131 Slide 1- 131 Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Sometimes problems involve repeatedly multiplying the same number. In such problems, we can use an exponent to indicate that a base number is repeatedly multiplied. Exponent: A symbol written to the upper right of a base number that indicates how many times to use the base as a factor. Base: The number that is repeatedly multiplied.

132 Slide 1- 132 Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. When we write a number with an exponent, we say the expression is in exponential form. The expression is in exponential form, where the base is 2 and the exponent is 4. To evaluate, write 2 as a factor 4 times, then multiply. Exponent Base Four 2s

133 Slide 1- 133 Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Evaluating an Exponential Form To evaluate an exponential form raised to a natural number exponent, write the base as a factor the number of times indicated by the exponent; then multiply.

134 Slide 1- 134 Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Example 1a Evaluate. (–9) 2 Solution The exponent 2 indicates we have two factors of –9. Because we multiply two negative numbers, the result is positive. (–9) 2 = (–9)(–9) = 81

135 Slide 1- 135 Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Example 1b Evaluate. Solution The exponent 3 means we must multiply the base by itself three times.

136 Slide 1- 136 Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Evaluating Exponential Forms with Negative Bases If the base of an exponential form is a negative number and the exponent is even, then the product is positive. If the base is a negative number and the exponent is odd, then the product is negative.

138 Slide 1- 138 Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Objective 2 Evaluate square roots.

139 Slide 1- 139 Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Roots are inverses of exponents. More specifically, a square root is the inverse of a square, so a square root of a given number is a number that, when squared, equals the given number. Square Roots Every positive number has two square roots, a positive root and a negative root. Negative numbers have no real-number square roots.

140 Slide 1- 140 Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Example 3 Find all square roots of the given number. Solution a. 49 Answer  7 b.  81 Answer No real-number square roots exist.

141 Slide 1- 141 Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. The symbol, called the radical, is used to indicate finding only the positive (or principal) square root of a given number. The given number or expression inside the radical is called the radicand. Radicand Radical Principal Square Root

142 Slide 1- 142 Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Square Roots Involving the Radical Sign The radical symbol denotes only the positive (principal) square root.

149 Slide 1- 149 Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Square Root of a Product or Quotient If a square root contains multiplication or division, we can multiply or divide first, then find the square root of the result, or we can find the square roots of the individual numbers, then multiply or divide the square roots. Square Root of a Sum or Difference When a radical contains addition or subtraction, we must add or subtract first, then find the root of the sum or difference.

150 Slide 1- 150 Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Example 6a Simplify. Solution Subtract within the radical. Evaluate the exponential form and root. Divide. Multiply. Subtract.

151 Slide 1- 151 Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Sometimes fraction lines are used as grouping symbols. When they are, we simplify the numerator and denominator separately, then divide the results.

Multiply. Write the subtraction as an equivalent addition. Add from left to right.

179 Slide 1- 179 Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Objective 2 Determine all values that cause an expression to be undefined.

180 Slide 1- 180 Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. When evaluating a division expression in which the divisor or denominator contains a variable or variables, we must be careful about what values replace the variable(s). We often need to know what values could replace the variable(s) and cause the expression to be undefined or indeterminate.

181 Slide 1- 181 Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Example 2 Determine all values that cause the expression to be undefined. a. b. Answer a. If x =  4, we have which is undefined because the denominator is 0. b. If x =  2 or 9 the fraction will be undefined since the denominator will = 0.

182 Slide 1- 182 Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Objective 3 Rewrite an expression using the distributive property.

183 Slide 1- 183 Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. The Distributive Property of Multiplication over Addition a(b + c) = ab + ac This property gives us an alternative to the order of operations. 2(5 + 6) = 2(11)2(5 + 6) = 2  5 + 2  6 = 22 = 10 + 12 = 22

184 Slide 1- 184 Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Example 3 Use the distributive property to write an equivalent expression and simplify. a. 3(x + 3)b. –5(w – 4) Solution a. 3(x + 3) = 3  x + 3  3 = 3x + 9 b. –5(w – 4) = –5  w – (–5)  4 = –5w + 20

185 Slide 1- 185 Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Objective 4 Rewrite an expression by combining like terms.
