I. ACTIVITY
A. MY VALUE!!!!!!!!!!!

B. CONNECT TO MY EQUIVALENT!!!!!!!!
 II. ANALYSIS AND ABSTRACTION
POSITIVE INTEGRAL EXPONENTS— If n is a positive integer, then xn = x.x.x...x (n factors).
The number x is called the BASE, while the positive integer n is called the EXPONENT. The expression xn is read “x
to the nth power” or simply “x to the nth”.

LAWS OF EXPONENTS
1.  PRODUCT OF POWERS: xa . xb = xa+b
For any real number x, and any positive integers a and b.

23 . 24 = 27 = 128 32 . 34 = 36 = 729 x3 . x5 = x8

2. POWER OF A POWER: (xa)b = xab

For any real number x, and any positive integers a and b.
 
(23)4 = 212 = 4096 (x2)3 = x6 (y4)2= y8 (a3)5 = a15

 3. POWER OF A PRODUCT: (xy)a = xaya

For any real number x and y, and any positive integer a.
(2 . 3)3 = 23 . 33 = 8 . 27 = 216
(ab)3 = a3 . b3 = a3b3
(2x)4 = 24 . x4 = 16x4

4. POWER OF A QUOTIENT:
For all integers a and b, and any non-zero number x.

ZERO AND NEGATIVE EXPONENTS

For any nonzero number a: a0 = 1
  0
5 =1 8x y = 8 . x2 . 1 = 8x2
2 0
(4x2y3z)0 = 1
In general, for any nonzero number a and any integer n:
 

EVALUATION OF RATIONAL ALGEBRAIC EXPRESSIONS

To evaluate an algebraic expression means to replace the letter(s) or variable with numeral(s) and the performing the
indicated operations.
 
Examples
Find the value of each expression below by evaluation.
1
1. 40y-1, y = 5 2. −2 ; m = -8 3. (p2 – 3)-2 ; p = 1
m (m+ 4)
SIMPLIFYING RATIONAL ALGEBRAIC EXPRESSIONS
SIMPLIFICATION PROPERTY OF RATIONAL ALGEBRAIC EXPRESSIONS
 
CA A
If A, B and C are polynomials, then CB = B , where B ≠ 0 and C ≠ 0.
STEPS
1. Factor both numerator and denominator.
2. Divide the numerator and denominator by their common factors.
 
 Simplify the following.
4 a+8 b 15 c 3 d 4 e x2 +3 x +2
