So this is equal to that just in most simplified form.Īgain what I did was write it out twice because it was squared, then I wrote out every single letter so I could cancel things out that were the same on top and bottom of that fraction. Hone your skills in simplifying expressions with sample questions including exponents with Grade Potential Raleigh, NC. This is my final answer, and I know it’s in most simplified form because I don’t have any constants on top and bottom that could be reduced, nor do I have the same letter showing up on top and bottom, and I also don’t have any negative exponents. Be really careful that you don’t write that as 4z, z times itself 4 times is written as z to the 4th. On the bottom I have y times itself and then I have 1, 2, 3, 4 Zs being multiplied. (yy means y multiplied by y, because in Algebra. Then I have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 Xs being multiplied together so that’s like x to the 6th. Brush up on simplifying expressions with exponents and practice examples with Grade Potential Dublin, OH. An exponent (such as the 2 in x2) says how many times to use the variable in a multiplication. Recall that to simplify an expression means to rewrite it by combing terms or exponents in other words, to write the expression more simply with fewer.
Okay let’s simplify the top, 2×2=4 dealing with my constants first.

The worksheets can be made in html or PDF format (both are easy to print). It’s like reducing a fraction when you have the same factors on top and bottom like that x and that x can go and that x and that x can go, that was it that wasn’t too much fun because I didn’t have any much crossing out to do, but you will. Students can solve simple expressions involving exponents, such as 3 3, (1/2) 4, (-5) 0, or 8 -2, or write multiplication expressions using an exponent. Use the Multiplication Law of Exponents to simplify the exponential expression below. This is 'Simplifying Expressions with Exponents' by Mountain Heights Academy Videos on Vimeo, the home for high quality videos and the. You get to cross out anything that is the same on top and bottom. The Multiplication Law of Exponents says that for any numbers b, n, and m, bn bm bn + m. The last step once you write it out is kind of fun. On the bottom I’ll have xyzz, and then that same thing again xyzz. On top I’ll have 2x to the 4th times 2x to the 4th.
Next thing I’m going to do is go through and write out every single letter so I can cancel out things that are the same on top and bottom. I’m going to write 2x to the 4th over xyz squared times itself. Like for example this whole fraction’s being squared, so that means times itself. The most sure fire way to approach a problem with exponents is to write everything out.
