(y^{​ 4 ​ ​})^{​ 2 ​ ​} = y^{​ 4 \cdot 2 ​ ​} = y^{​ 8 ​ ​}

(z^{​ 6 ​ ​})^{​ 3 ​ ​} = z^{​ 6 \cdot 3 ​ ​} = z^{​ 18 ​ ​}

Slide 9 - Diapositive

Power of a power

(x^{​ 3 ​ ​})^{​ 3 ​ ​} \cdot 2 x^{​ 2 ​ ​} = . . .

5 (z^{​ 4 ​ ​})^{​ 2 ​ ​} + 2 (z^{​ 2 ​ ​})^{​ 4 ​ ​} = . . .

Slide 10 - Diapositive

Power of a power

(x^{​ 3 ​ ​})^{​ 3 ​ ​} \cdot 2 x^{​ 2 ​ ​} = x^{​ 3 \cdot 3 ​ ​} \cdot 2 x^{​ 2 ​ ​} = x^{​ 6 ​ ​} \cdot 2 x^{​ 2 ​ ​} = 2 x^{​ 8 ​ ​}

5 (z^{​ 4 ​ ​})^{​ 2 ​ ​} + 2 (z^{​ 2 ​ ​})^{​ 4 ​ ​} = 5 z^{​ 4 \cdot 2 ​ ​} + 2 z^{​ 2 \cdot 4 ​ ​} =

5 z^{​ 8 ​ ​} + 2 z^{​ 8 ​ ​} = 7 z^{​ 8 ​ ​}

Slide 11 - Diapositive

Power of a power

Slide 12 - Diapositive

Power of a product

(2 x)^{​ 3 ​ ​} = . . .

(- 5 y)^{​ 3 ​ ​} = . . .

(3 a^{​ 2 ​ ​})^{​ 3 ​ ​} = . . .

Slide 13 - Diapositive

Power of a product

(2 x)^{​ 3 ​ ​} = 2^{​ 3 ​ ​} \cdot x^{​ 3 ​ ​} = 8 x^{​ 3 ​ ​}

(- 5 y)^{​ 3 ​ ​} = (- 5)^{​ 3 ​ ​} \cdot y^{​ 3 ​ ​} = - 125 y^{​ 3 ​ ​}

(3 a^{​ 2 ​ ​})^{​ 3 ​ ​} = 3^{​ 3 ​ ​} \cdot a^{​ 2 \cdot 3 ​ ​} = 27 a^{​ 6 ​ ​}

Worktime

You work neatly by…
… reading the theory (again) before asking a question to your classmate.
… raising a hand before asking a question to the teacher.
… if the teacher is busy, remember your question and move on.

Slide 19 - Diapositive

Power of a product

(2 x)^{​ 3 ​ ​} = . . .

(- 5 y)^{​ 3 ​ ​} = . . .

(3 a^{​ 2 ​ ​})^{​ 3 ​ ​} = . . .

Slide 20 - Diapositive

Power of a product

(2 x)^{​ 3 ​ ​} = 2^{​ 3 ​ ​} \cdot x^{​ 3 ​ ​} = 8 x^{​ 3 ​ ​}

(- 5 y)^{​ 3 ​ ​} = (- 5)^{​ 3 ​ ​} \cdot y^{​ 3 ​ ​} = - 125 y^{​ 3 ​ ​}

(3 a^{​ 2 ​ ​})^{​ 3 ​ ​} = 3^{​ 3 ​ ​} \cdot a^{​ 2 \cdot 3 ​ ​} = 27 a^{​ 6 ​ ​}

Slide 22 - Diapositive

Dividing powers

\frac{​ 6 a ​ ​}{​ a ​} = . . .

\frac{​ 8 a b ​ ​}{​ 2 b ​} = . . .

\frac{​ a ^{​ 2 ​ ​} b ​ ​}{​ a b c ​} = . . .

Slide 23 - Diapositive

Dividing powers

\frac{​ 6 a ​ ​}{​ a ​} = \frac{​ 6 \cdot a ​ ​}{​ a ​} = 6

\frac{​ 8 a b ​ ​}{​ 2 b ​} = \frac{​ 8 \cdot a \cdot b ​ ​}{​ 2 \cdot b ​} = 4 a

\frac{​ a ^{​ 2 ​ ​} b ​ ​}{​ a b c ​} = \frac{​ a \cdot a \cdot b ​ ​}{​ a \cdot b \cdot c ​} = \frac{​ a ​ ​}{​ c ​}

Explanation

Dividing variables works similarly to dividing regular numbers. To divide variables, pay attention to which variables are in the numerator and denominator.

For example, if you have 6/𝑎, both parts of the fraction have the variable 'a' in them. Thus, you can divide it by 'a'.

Slide 24 - Diapositive

Dividing powers

\frac{​ a ^{​ 7 ​ ​} ​ ​}{​ a ^{​ 3 ​ ​} ​} = . . .

\frac{​ x ^{​ 5 ​ ​} ​ ​}{​ x ^{​ 3 ​ ​} ​} = . . .

\frac{​ 5 a ^{​ 8 ​ ​} b ^{​ 2 ​ ​} ​ ​}{​ 2 5 a ^{​ 3 ​ ​} b ​} = . . .

Slide 25 - Diapositive

Dividing powers

\frac{​ a ^{​ 7 ​ ​} ​ ​}{​ a ^{​ 3 ​ ​} ​} = \frac{​ a \cdot a \cdot a \cdot a \cdot a \cdot a \cdot a ​ ​}{​ a \cdot a \cdot a ​} = a^{​ 4 ​ ​}

\frac{​ x ^{​ 5 ​ ​} ​ ​}{​ x ^{​ 3 ​ ​} ​} = \frac{​ x \cdot x \cdot x \cdot x \cdot x ​ ​}{​ x \cdot x \cdot x ​} = x^{​ 2 ​ ​}

\frac{​ 5 a ^{​ 8 ​ ​} b ^{​ 2 ​ ​} ​ ​}{​ 2 5 a ^{​ 3 ​ ​} b ​} = \frac{​ 5 \cdot a \cdot a \cdot a \cdot a \cdot a \cdot a \cdot a \cdot a \cdot b \cdot b ​ ​}{​ 5 \cdot 5 \cdot a \cdot a \cdot a \cdot b ​} = \frac{​ a ^{​ 5 ​ ​} b ​ ​}{​ 5 ​}

Explanation

If you have trouble dividing variables, try writing down all the factors in both the numerator and denominator. This way, you can remove the variables more carefully. It may take some time to write everything down, but it is not required for the test or any official purposes.

Slide 26 - Diapositive

Dividing powers - 'According to the book'

\frac{​ a ^{​ 7 ​ ​} ​ ​}{​ a ^{​ 3 ​ ​} ​} = a^{​ 4 ​ ​}

\frac{​ x ^{​ 5 ​ ​} ​ ​}{​ x ^{​ 3 ​ ​} ​} = x^{​ 2 ​ ​}

\frac{​ 5 a ^{​ 8 ​ ​} b ^{​ 2 ​ ​} ​ ​}{​ 2 5 a ^{​ 3 ​ ​} b ​} = \frac{​ a ^{​ 5 ​ ​} b ​ ​}{​ 5 ​}
