Exponents Class Work
Do Now: (1) What is the difference between and ?
(2) Combine the expressions below into a single term. a. b. Exponents and Exponent Rules: Exercise 1: Definitions (1) Define an exponential expression below. c. d.
Exponent Definitions is called the _________
is called the _________
The whole thing together is (2) Fill in the blanks to the right. the ___________________
Exercise 2: Developing the Product Rule (1) Fill out the table below Product Repeated multiplication Power of the form
N/A (2) Use this rule to simplify each of the following: a. b. c.
Exercise 3: Developing the Distributive Rule for Multiplication (1) Grouping symbols (parentheses and brackets) can mean two slightly different things.
a. In this example what do the parentheses mean?
b. In this example what do the parentheses mean?
(2) Fill out the table below Product Repeated multiplication Rearrange the multiplications using the commutative property so similar things are next to each other. Power of the form
N/A (3) Which meaning of parentheses does this rule use?
N/A
(4) Use this rule combined with the product rule to simplify each of the following. a. b. c.
Exercise 3: Developing the Distributive Rule for Division (1) Fill in the table below. Quotient ( ) Repeated multiplication ( )( )( )( ) ( )( )( )( )( )( ) Write as a fraction
( )
N/A
(2) Use this rule, combined with the other two rules to simplify each of the following. a. ( ) ( ) b. ( ) c. ( ) ( ) ( )
Exercise 4: Developing the Quotient Rule (1) Do you remember how to reduce fractions? Or why reducing fractions works? (a) What can multiply (b) Rewrite the
that keeps it as ? (c) Rewrite the different form: in a
and
as
____=
fractions:
(2) Do what we did above in reverse.
(a) Suppose you have the fraction
and youre trying to reduce it. Replace 15 by its
factors and replace 6 by its factors.
(b) Separate the three fractions:
(c) Turn things that are divided by
themselves into :
(d) Write the final thing that
is
equivalent to: (3) Try it again. Reduce each of the following by finding versions of . (a) (b) (c)
(4) Use this idea of reducing to fill out the following chart: Quotient Repeated multiplication Find versions of 1 Power of the form
N/A
N/A
(5) You can use what you figured out to determine what anything to a zero power should be.
Quotient Use the quotient rule to write in the form Look at the original quotient. What is it as just a number?
What do you think anything to the zero power should equal?
(6) Practice using the quotient rule:
(a) (b) (c)
Exercise 5: Developing the Power Rule. (1) Expand
3
(2) Now, let get?
. What do you
(3) Based on that exercise, what do you think
should be?
(4) Fill out the table below: Problem to simplify First repeated multiplication Second repeated multiplication Power of the form
N/A
N/A (c)
(5) Practice combining all the rules so far.
(a) (b) (
Exercise 6: Developing Negative Exponents (1) Evaluate the first 5 exponential expressions, and see if you can determine the pattern to evaluate the remaining three.
(2) Lets explore that rule in a different way. Fill out the table below.
Quotient
Repeated multiplication
Answer as a fraction
Use the quotient rule to get power of the form
N/A
N/A
(3) Practice! Simplify each of the following and write answers with positive powers. (a) (b) (c)
