Lesson on Properties of Exponents

Properties of Exponents

Let's review the properties of exponents. You'll want to take notes as you go so that you can answer all of the questions.

​Exponents

Remember:

Invisible ones!

5 = 5¹
x = x¹

Product of Powers

Product of Powers: Example

Multiple Choice

• $$y^{6+2}$$  

• $$y^{6-2}$$  

• $$y^{6\div2}$$  

• $$y^{6\times2}$$  

Multiple Choice

$$z^3\cdot z^7=?$$
