LAWS OF

EXPONENTS AND
MULTIPLICATION OF
POLYNOMIALS
LESSON OBJECTIVES
At the end of the lesson, you should be able
to:
✔ interpret the meaning of an, where n is a
positive integer
✔ apply the laws of exponents
✔ multiply polynomials
BASE EXPONENT
Exponent tells us the
number of times the base is
used as a factor.

“3 to the fifth power”


“3 raised to the fifth power”
EXAMPLE
S the following in expanded
Write
form.
1. x 4
=x●x●x●
x
2. x2y =x●x●y
3. a b 2 4 =a●a●b●b●b
●b
#1: THE PRODUCT LAW
If you are multiplying Powers with the same base, KEEP the BASE
& ADD the EXPONENTS!

Examples Simplify each of the following


expressions.
#2: POWER OF A POWER LAW
If you are raising a Power to an exponent, you multiply the
exponents!

Examples Simplify each of the following


expressions.
#3: POWER OF A PRODUCT LAW
If the product of the bases is powered by the same exponent, then the result is a
multiplication of individual factors of the product, each powered by the given
exponent.

Examples Simplify each of the following


expressions.
#4: DIVIDING POWERS
When dividing Powers with the same base, KEEP the BASE &
SUBTRACT the EXPONENTS!

Examples Simplify each of the following


expressions.
#5: QUOTIENT LAW OF EXPONENTS
If the quotient of the bases is powered by the same exponent, then the result is
both numerator and denominator, each powered by the given exponent.

Examples Simplify each of the following


expressions.
#6: ZERO LAW OF EXPONENTS
Any base powered by zero exponent equals one.

Examples Simplify each of the following


expressions.
#7: NEGATIVE LAW OF EXPONENTS
If the base is powered by negative exponent, then the base becomes reciprocal
with positive exponent.

Examples Simplify each of the following


expressions.
