1 Review of Properties of Exponents

2 a 0 = 1, a  0 Properties of Exponents Assume throughout your work that no denominator is equal to zero and that m and n are positive integers. a -n = 1an1an a m  a n = a m+n amanaman = a m-n (ab) n = a n b n anbnanbn = abab n (a m ) n = a mn

3 Examples: (7a 2 )(-2a -5 ) = (7  -2)(a 2  a -5 ) = Group Coefficients and like variables. (-14)(a -3 ) = Apply properties. -14 a 3

4 Examples: (-2x -1 y 2 ) 3 = (-2) 3 (x -1 ) 3 (y 2 ) 3 = Share the outside power. (-8)(x -3 )(y 6 ) = Apply properties. -8y 6 x 3

5 Examples: Group Coefficients and like variables. (2)(a -2 )(b 4 )(c 0 ) = Apply properties. 2b 4 a 2 2ab 5 c 2 a 3 bc 2 = (2) = aa3aa3 b5bb5b c2c2c2c2

6 Simplify each expression. Use only positive exponents. (3a 2 )(4a 6 ) = (-4x 2 )(-2x -2 ) = (4x 3 y 5 ) 2 = (s 2 t) 3 (st) = (-6m 2 n 2 )(3mn)= 12a 8 8 16x 6 y 10 s7t4s7t4 -18m 3 n 3
