  1. OBJECTIVE: The students will simplify expressions by using the laws of exponents.

  2. Write in • exponential form • 3x3 • 2x2x2x2x2x2 • 10x10x10 • 5x5x5 • 1x1x1x1x1x1x1x1

  3. HISTORY of the word EXPONENT. • The term EXPONENT was introduced by Michael Stifel (1487-1567) in 1544 in Arithmetica integra.

  4. An exponent is simply shorthand for multiplying that number of identical factors.

  5. So 4³ is the same as (4)(4)(4), three identical factors of 4. And x³ is just three factors of x, (x)(x)(x).

  6. Exponent is the power in an expression. 137 Exponent BASE

  7. Exponents exponent power base

  8. Using the Calculator 5 4 Press 5 Press ^ Press 4 Then =

  9. 7 Laws of Exponents #1PRODUCT LAW • To Multiply LIKE Bases… • …Copy the Base, Add Exponents

  10. Product Law or Product Rule

  11. 7 Laws of Exponents #2QUOTIENT LAW • To Divide LIKE Bases… • …Subtract Exponents a4

  12. Quotient Law or Quotient Rule:

  13. 7 Laws of Exponents #3EXPONENT of EXPONENT LAW • To Raise a Power to a Power… • …Multiply Exponents a12

  14. Exponent of Exponent Law or Exponential Rule:

  15. 7 Laws of Exponents #4Raising a product to a power • To Raise a QUANTITY to a Power, raise EACH Factor to that Power. (-3ab)2= 9a2b2

  16. 7 Laws of Exponents #5Raising a quotient or a fraction to a power • To Raise a FRACTION to a Power, raise BOTH Numerator & Denominator to that power. a4 b4

  17. 7 Laws of Exponents #6NEGATIVE EXPONENT LAW • Negative Exponents  • …Reciprocal with a Positive Exponent 1 a3 ___

  18. #6: Negative Law of Exponents: If the base is powered by the negative exponent, then the base becomes reciprocal with the positive exponent.

  19. 7 Laws of Exponents #7 • Any nonzero number raised to the ZERO Power = ONE 1 1 1

  20. The Laws of Exponents: #7: Zero Law of Exponents: Any base powered by zero exponent equals one
