Pythagorean Theorem & It's Converse

October 11th, 2021

The Pythagorean Theorem

Hypotenuse

• The longest side of a right triangle

• The side that is opposite (across) from the 90^o angle.

• When using the Pythagorean Theorem, the Hypotenuse is represented by the variable, c.

Leg (of a Triangle)

• The two shorter sides of a right triangle

• The sides that are adjacent to the 90^o angle.

• When using the Pythagorean Theorem, the Legs are represented by the variables, a & b.

Product & Quotient Rules of Exponents

Laws of Exponents

Product Rule

• Look at the right and see what happens when you multiply powers that have the same base

• When you expand 3² you have two 3s being multiplied and when you expand 3³ you have three 3s being multiplied.

• All together how many 3s are you multiplying?

Product Rule Short Cut?!!

When you multiply same base powers you keep the base and add the exponents.

x² * x⁷ = x²⁺⁷ = x⁹

Multiple Choice

Simplify the following:

$$a^{11}\cdot a^2\cdot a^0$$  

• $$a^{13}$$  

• $$1$$  

• $$a^{22}$$  

• $$a^0$$  

Multiple Choice

Simplify the following:

$$x^3\cdot y^2\cdot x^2$$  

• $$xy^7$$  

• $$x^5y^2$$  

• $$\left(xy\right)^7$$  

• $$x^5$$  

Multiple Choice

Simplify the following:

$$x^3\cdot x\cdot x^{-2}$$  

• $$x^1$$  

• $$x^5$$  

• $$x^6$$  

• $$x^2$$  

Quotient Rule

• When dividing powers that have the same base think of dividing as the inverse of multiplying, so what is the inverse of adding?

• When you expand x⁵ you have five Xs being multiplied in the numerator and when you expand x² you have two Xs being multiplied in the denominator.

• So what happens when you have the Xs in the numerator and Xs in the denominator? Yup! you cross out the matching pairs!

• Now what did you end up with?

Quotient Rule Short Cut?!!

When you divide same base powers you keep the base and subtract the exponents.

x⁷ / x² = x^7-2 = x⁵
