Standard Text:
Students understand and use such operations a taking the opposite, finding the reciprocal, taking a root, and raising to a fractional power. They understand and use the rules of exponents.
Student Friendly:
We can find reciprocals and roots, and we can understand how to take the opposite and raise numbers to a fractional power. We can understand and solve expressions and equations that involve the exponent rules.
Exponent Rules:
1. Product of Powers
2. Quotient of Powers
3. Power of Powers
4. Negative Powers
5. Fractional Powers
6. Zero Powers
7. Power of Products
8. Power of Quotients
Here is an example problem:
The first step is to simplify the roots so the square root of 18 can become the square root of 9 times the square root of 2 and 2 cubed equals 8.
From there you simplify the square root of 9 to 3.
Since you cannot have a root in the denominator of a fraction we must get rid of it by multiplying by that square root over itself because it is like multiplying by 1.
Now you multiply the square root of 8 into the numerator and the denominator.
Now you multiply the square root of 2 by the square root of 8 to get the square root of 16, and you simplify the square root of 64 to 8.
Now simplify the square root of 16 to 4.
Now simplify 3 times 4.
Now simplify the fraction 12/8 to 3/2 and that is your answer.
