Section 5.1: Working with Exponents Exponents that are natural numbers are shorthand notation for repeating factors. 3 4 = is the base 4 is the exponent (also called power) Note, by the order of operations, exponents are calculated before all other operations, except parentheses.

Evaluate each of the following expressions. Example 3434 = = 81 (-5) 2 = (-5)(-5)= = -(6)(6)= -36 (2 4) 3 = (2 4)(2 4)(2 4)= 8 8 8= = 3 4 4= 48

Example from today’s homework:

Evaluate the following expressions. Find 3x 2 when x = 5. Example Find -2x 2 when x = -1. 3x 2 = 3(5) 2 = 3(5 5)= x 2 = -2(-1) 2 = -2(-1 -1)= -2(1) = 75 = -2

Example from today’s homework:

Product Rule (applies to common bases only) a m a n = a m+n Simplify each of the following expressions. Example = 3 6 = = 729 x 4 x 5 = x 4+5 z 3 z 2 z 5 = z (3y 2 )(-4y 4 )= 3 y 2 -4 y 4 = (3 -4)(y 2 y 4 )= -12y 6 = = x 9 = z 10

Example from today’s homework:

Power Rule (a m ) n = a mn Example Simplify each of the following expressions. (2 3 ) 3 = 2 9 = 512 (x4)2(x4)2 = x 8 = 2 33 = x 42

Example from today’s homework:

Power of a Product Rule (ab) n = a n b n Simplify (5x 2 y) 3 Example = 5 3 (x 2 ) 3 y 3 = 125x 6 y 3

Example from today’s homework:

Power of a Quotient Rule Example Simplify the following expression. (Power of product rule in this step) (Power rule in this step)

Example from today’s homework:

Quotient Rule (applies to common bases only) Example Simplify the following expression. Group common bases together

Example from today’s homework:

Zero exponent a 0 = 1, a  0 Note: 0 0 is undefined. Simplify each of the following expressions Example = 1 (xyz 3 ) 0 = x 0 y 0 (z 3 ) 0 = = 1 -x0-x0 = -(x 0 ) = -1

Example from today’s homework:

Answer = 1
