7-1 Multiplying Monomials Part 4
x n x is the n is the Exponents
Polynomial: an algebraic expression containing at least one variable and at least two terms Monomial: a number, variable, or the product of a number and one or more variables with nonnegative integer exponents Vocabulary
Product of Powers When multiplying two monomials with the same base, you must add the exponents. Exponential Operations E1
Power of a Power When raising a monomial to a power, you must multiply the exponents. Exponential Operations E2
Power of a Product To find the power of a product, find the power of each factor and multiply Exponential Operations E3
Use the power of a product property to simplify each monomial E4 [ (n 3 )(n 4 ) ] 3 E5 [ (3pt 3 )(2p 3 t 2 ) ] 4
Just remember to multiply the exponents E6 [ (5x 9 y 5 )(3x 3 y 2 )(x 2 y) ] 3 E7 [ (-q 19 r 3 )(-6q 4 s 2 )(2r 2 s) ] 0
