1. Algebraic Fractions  Know your rules  Anything raised to the 0 power = 1  Negative exponents can be moved to the opposite and made positive (that is, if in numerator, move to the denominator; if in denominator move to numerator)  When the bases are the same and multiplying, ADD the exponents

2. RULES: Move the negative exponents

3. RULES: Anything raise to the 0 power is 1

4. RULES: When bases are the same add exponents when multiplying

5. Look to see if anything can be simplified?
