1. Algebra Warm up:
pg. 375 #45-51 odd

2. 8.3 Laws of Exponents: Dividing Monomials pg. 383 to 389
So yesterday you learned:
Raising a power or monomial to a power!
What did that mean?
MEANS you would start with a set of ( ) and then
distribute the exponent to each part of the expression inside

3. The third rule of exponents:
Quotients of powers property:
That means now you will be dividing like bases which means you are
subtracting the exponents!
(like cancelling out what occurs on the top and the bottom)

4. Using numbers as bases pg. 384

5. Using Variables as bases pg. 384

6. Quotients of Monomials:
Use the same rule before---when dividing like bases you subtract the
exponents
BUT also make sure to treat the coefficients like numbers and divide
them too!

7. Try this pg. 385

8. pg.385
Again word problems!!!!--Just substitute what you need to
and simplify according to ALL of the exponent rules you
need!!

9. Powers of a Fraction: Fourth Rule of Exponents:
This is like raising a power to a power
(applying distributive property to exponents)
BUT what is inside the ( ) is a fraction and the quot;rulequot; applies to the top
and the bottom of the fraction!
(SOOO applying the exponent using distributive property to
everything inside the ( ) on the top AND on the bottom)

10. pg. 386

11. Try this pg. 386

12. Now lets try some... pg. 387 # 5-16
DON'T forget you may have to use some of the past rules!
