8.2 Laws of Exponents: Powers and Products pg. 377 -382

So yesterday you learned:

When multiplying like bases--you add exponents

When multiplying monomials--you multiply the coefficents, add the exponents of the like bases

The second rule of exponents:

Raising power to a power.

In this case you will be applying an exponent to a set of parentheses (multiplying the exponents together)

(3 parts)

pg. 378

Raising Monomials to a Power

In this case--again you are applying the exponent outside the ( ) to everything inside!

JUST like you use Distributive Property--The exponent applies to EVERY part inside the ( )--THEN simplify if you can!

pg. 379

pg. 379

pg. 380

Sometimes you will have word problems--This just involves SUBSTITUTING an expression into a formula

Powers of -1

Recall from chapter 2-

negative x megative = positive negative x positive = negative

positive x negative = negative positive x positive = posistive

This idea applies to exponents and negative numbers!

EVEN exponent applied to negative bases GIVES positive answer(negatives cancel out)

ODD exponent applied to negative bases GIVES negative answer

pg. 380

Now you try them together! pg. 381 # 2-25

DON'T forget about the rule from yesteday--They will still apply!
