EXPONENT RULES (Algebraic Notation .... See below for "verbal explanation" of each rule.) EXPONENT RULES ("Verbal Explanation" ... See above for algebraic generalization of each rule.) (1) When multiplying powers with the same base, add the exponent. (2) When dividing powers with the same base, subtract the bottom exponent from the top exponent. (3) When taking a power to a power, multiply the exponenets. (4) When taking a product to a power be sure to take EACH factor in the parentheses to the power. (5) When taking a quotient to a power be sure to take both the numerator and the denominator to the power. (6) and (7) Any number to a negative power (left side of the algebraic equation above) is equal to 1 over the base of the power to the positive exponent. (8) ANYTHING to the zero power is 1! (9) and (10) and (13) A number to a fractional power can be rewritten as a radical (also called a "root"). The denominator of the fractional exponent becomes the "index" of the root (I say "it's the number that goes in the 'crook'."). The numerator of the fractional exponent is the exponent of the whole radical. (11) The root of a product is equal to the product of the roots of each of the factors of the product. <--- We didn't actually do this one as of the week of September 27. (12) The root of a quotient is equal to the quotient of the roots of the numerator and denominator of the quotient. <--- We didn't actually do thie one as of the week of September 27. A.8. Simplifying Rational Exponents
 * Quiz on Multiplying Powers and Taking Powers to a Power** ... this quiz is just like problems on the following two self-check worksheets: 1) What do you call soap that doesn't clean? and 2) How does the king's son write?

Week of October 4 **REQUIZ OPPORTUNITY** -- SOME DID VERY POORLY ON THIS QUIZ!!! ... Therefore, those who want to retake a similar quiz may do so and may gain up to HALF of the points that they missed originally if they do well on the retake. MY ADVICE? Make SURE you can do ALL of the problems on the 2-sided, self-check worksheet involving multiplication properties of exponents! If there is something you don't understand PLEASE ASK!! Anyone choosing to take advantage of this requiz opportunity may gain UP TO HALF of the points he/she originally missed on the quiz. If a student gets 100% on the requiz opportunity, he/she will receive HALF of the points originally missed. If a student's new percent grade is BETTER than his/her original percentage, he/she will receive a portion of the half (teacher discretion). If the student's new percent grade is BELOW the original percentage, he/she will receive a grade that is equivalent to average of the two percents. It is up to each individual student whether he/she takes advantage of this opportunity. Anyone choosing to NOT take advantage of the opportunity simply receives the score already posted in PowerSchool. Any questions, ask Mrs. Bender. A.12.
