Laws of Exponents

Day 1: Product and Quotient Rules

EXP 1.1 I can use the Product and Quotient Rules to simplify algebraic expressions.

Product RuleO Definition:

O When you multiply like terms, you add the exponents

O Formula:

O Example 1:

Product Rule Cont.O Example 2 O Example 3

Product Rule Cont.O Example 4

Quotient RuleO Definition:

O When you divide like terms, you subtract the exponents

O Formula:

O Example 1:

Quotient Rule Cont.O Example 2 O Example 3

Quotient Rule Cont.O Example 4

Think Pair ShareO Compare the Product Rule and the

Quotient Rule.

Day 2: Power and Negative Exponents

RulesEXP 1.2 I can use the Power and Negative

Exponent Rules to simplify algebraic expressions.

Power RuleO Definition:

O When you have a power raised to a power, you multiply the exponents

O Formula:

O Example 1:

Power Rule Cont.O Example 2 O Example 3

Power Rule Cont.O Example 4

Negative Exponents Rule

O Definition:O Make a fraction,

move the exponent and change its sign

O Formulas:

O Example 1:

O Example 2:

Negative Exponents Cont.

O Example 3: O Example 4:

Think Pair ShareO How do we know when to use the

Power Rule?

O What always happens to the exponent(s) as a result of the Negative Exponents Rule?

Day 3: Use a Combination of Exponent Laws

EXP 1.3 I can use a combination of exponent laws to simplify algebraic

expressions.

When would we use…?O The Product Rule

O Two terms are multipliedO The Quotient Rule

O Two terms are dividedO The Power Rule

O Power raised to a powerO The Negative Exponents Rule

O There is a negative exponent
