Scene 1 (0s)

Laws of Exponent. Math 7. 9 TH GRADE.

Scene 2 (8s)

Exponents are used in many algebra problems, so it’s important that you understand the rules for working with exponents.

Scene 3 (20s)

Rules for Exponent. Product rule- This says to multiply two exponents with the same base, you keep the base and add the powers Example: a2 • a4 = a6 x8 • x7 = x10.

Scene 4 (33s)

Rule 2. 7 TH GRADE. 2. Quotient rule- This says to divide two exponents with the same base, you keep the base and subtract the powers Examples: a^5/a^3 = a^2 y^4/y^9 = y^-5 = 1/y^5.

Scene 5 (47s)

3. Negative exponent rule- This says that negative exponent in the numerator gets moved to the denominator and become positive exponents. Negative exponents in the denominator get moved to the numerator and become positive components. Only move the negative exponents. Example: 5^2= 1/5 ^2 = 1/2 5.

Scene 6 (1m 5s)

Rule 4. 4. Power rule (power to power)- This says that to raise a power to a power you need to multiply the exponents. Example: (x^5)^4= x^20.

Scene 7 (1m 17s)

Rule 5. 5. Zero exponent rule- a0= 1, this says that anything raised to the zero power is 1. Example: 3^0= 1.

Scene 8 (1m 32s)
