1. 1# Objectives The student will be able to:
1. divide monomials.
2. simplify negative exponents.
Designed by Skip Tyler, Varina High School

2. When dividing monomials, subtract the exponents.1. 2.
= b5-2
= b3
= m7-1n5-2
= m6 n3

3. = xy
= 9a3b2

4. Simplify
boards
48g2h2
48gh2
4g2h2
4gh2

5. = 1m0n = n Here’s a tricky one! They canceled out!
What happened to the m?
They canceled out!
There are no m’s left over!
This leads us to our next rule…

6. Zero Exponents Anything to the 0 power is equal to 1. a0 = 1
True or False? Anything divided by itself equals one.
True!
See for yourself!

7. Simplify (denominator LARGER).
Look and see (visualize) where you have the larger exponent and leave the variable in that location. Subtract the smaller exponent from the larger one.
r is larger in the numerator and s is larger in the denominator.
