- 3. March 4th (Day 14): More Basic Rules of Exponents Topic One: Expand the following: Dividing Like Bases 27 23 Is there anything that we can reduce or cancel out? Looking back at our original, what is a simple rule we could use to divide like bases? 3
- 4. Topic One (cont)... Compute each quotient, without a calculator. Dividing Like Bases It's Your Turn! (Ex. #1) 35 33 (Ex. #2) 109 108 (Ex. #3) 63x9 3322x5 4
- 5. Topic Two: Expand the following expression: Raising an Exponent (75)3 to Another Exponent How can we now simplify this to 7 raised to a single power? Looking back at our original, what is a rule we could use to raise an exponent to another exponent? 5
- 6. Topic Two (cont)... Simplify each expression. Raising an Exponent to Another Exponent It's Your Turn! 4 3 (Ex. #1) (2 ) 2 3 (Ex. #2) (5 ) (Ex. #3) (x6)7 6
- 7. Topic Three: Expand the following expression: Distributing an (xy)4 Exponent to a Quantity How can we simplify this without using parentheses? Looking back at our original, what property could we have used to get the same result? What is a general rule we can use for problems where we have to distribute an exponent to a quantity? 7
