Division Rules of Exponents Explained

What is the first step in setting up your learning environment for this lesson?

• Discuss with a partner

• Read the textbook

• Start solving problems

• Write down the date and page number

What does the quotient of powers rule state?

• Add the exponents

• Multiply the exponents

• Subtract the exponents

• Divide the bases

In the example given, what is the result of dividing 6x^9 by 2x^3?

• 2x^3

• 2x^6

• 3x^3

• 3x^6

What is an alternative method to using the quotient of powers rule if you can't memorize it?

• Ask a friend

• Use a calculator

• Write it out longhand

• Skip the problem

When writing out 6x^9 longhand, how many x's are there?

• 6

• 9

• 12

• 3

What is the next rule discussed after the quotient of powers rule?

• Product of powers rule

• Power of a quotient rule

• Negative exponent rule

What does the power of a quotient rule involve?

• Adding the exponents

• Multiplying the exponents

• Dividing the bases

• Taking everything inside the quotient to the power

In the example of taking (x/y)^4, what is the result?

• x^4y^4

• x/y^4

• x^4/y

• x^4/y^4

What is the result of (2y^2/3z^3)^2?

• 2y^2/3z^3

• 4y^4/9z^6

• 4y^2/9z^3
