Monomials are algebraic expressions with only one term. Examples of monomials given are 8, -7x5, xaybzc, zyxabs, b. Other expressions like 5b+70 and 3x-3 are not monomials because they have more than one term. To divide monomials, subtract the exponents of the same bases. To multiply monomials, add the exponents of the same bases. Exponents are a way to write repeated multiplication in a condensed form.

2. The Basics:

3. Whenever I'm about to do something, I think "Would an idiot do that?"And if they would, I do not do that thing.” – Dwight Schrute

4. These are monomials: “ Wikipedia is the best thing ever. Anyone in the world can write anything they want about any subject. So you know you are getting the best possible information. “– Michael Scott 8 -7x5 xaybzc zyxabs b

5. Are these monomials? 5b+70 3x-3 -p+7y Seriously? No. Seriously? No. Dwight: "Don't you want to earn Schrute Bucks?"Stanley: "No. In fact, I'll give you a billion Stanley Nickels if you never talk to me again."Dwight: "What's the ratio of Stanley Nickels to Schrute Bucks?"Stanley: "The same as the ratio of unicorns to leprechauns."

6. To Divide: Subtract exponents with like bases X5 X2 = x 5-2 = x3 X2 ÷ X5 = X2 = 1 * X * X = 1 X X* X* X* X* X X3 Hint: this is for visual purposes only, do not leave exponents in the denominator.

7. Let’s break this down a little: X5 divided by X2 (X·X·X·X·X)÷(X·X) X3 9x7 divided 3x4 Ryan: I ground up four extra-strength aspirin and put them in Michael's puddin g. I do the same thing with my dog to get him to take his heartworm medicine. (9·X·X· X·X·X·X)÷(X·X·X·X) 3x3

8. To multiply: Dwight: I.D. badges are long overdue. Security in this office park is a joke. Last year, I came to work with my spud gun in a duffel bag. I sat at my desk all day, with a rifle that shoots potatoes at 60 pounds per square inch. Can you imagine if I was deranged? add the exponents together am · an = a(m+n) 42 · 43 = 4(2+3) = 45 X2 · X5 = X(2+5) = X7

9. Let’s break this down a little: mmhmmm X4 times X3 3x2 times -6x2 (3·X·X)(-6·X·X) (X·X·X·X)(X·X·X) Dwight: When I die, I wanna be frozen. And if they have to freeze me in pieces, so be it. I will wake up stronger than ever because I will have used that time to figure out exactly why I died and what moves I could have used to defend myself better now that I know what hold he had me in. X7 -18x4

10. Exponents Multiply the exponents (X4)2=X8 "In the wild, there is no healthcare. In the wild healthcare is "Ow, I hurt my leg, I can't run, a lion eats me, and I'm dead. Wow, I'm not dead. I'm the lion, you're dead!" – Dwight Schrute (X4)2=X8 (X2)2=X4 (10x2y4)2=10x4y8

11. "Why are you the way that you are? Honestly, every time I try to do something fun or exciting, you make it not that way. I hate so much about the things that you choose to be." - Michael Scott
