Introduce exponents by defining base and exponent, read expressions like x to the power y, and explore numeric and variable examples, with the product rule upcoming.
explore product rule for multiplying expressions with the same base by adding exponents, illustrated via examples like 2^3 times 2^6 and 2x^2 y^3 times 3x^4 y^2 yielding 6 x^6 y^5.
Explore the quotient rule by subtracting exponents with the same base, and practice simplifying expressions like 2^6/2^3 and 9x^4 y^7 divided by 3x^2 y^3.
Master the zero exponent rule: any number to the power of zero equals one, as shown by 2^0=1, 5^0=1, and one million^0=1.
Explore the negative exponent rule: a^-m = 1/(a^m), with examples like 2^-5 = 1/2^5 and showing how 2^5 equals 32 through repeated multiplication.
Apply the power rule by taking a base to a power, then raising that result to another power and multiplying the exponents, as in (2^3)^2 = 2^6.
Learn how to apply the power to a product by raising each factor to the exponent, illustrated with 3^4, x^4, and 56^5 x^10 y^15.
Demonstrate the power of a quotient, showing that (a/b)^m = a^m/b^m. Use the example 9/2 raised to the third power, which equals 9^3/2^3, or 729/8.
