Exponent Rules Week 1

Find the sum.
(2x² + 5x - 7) + ( 3 - 4x² + 6x)

• 2x² + 3x +1
• -2x² - 11x -4
• 2x² + 5x -7
• -2x² + 11x -4

Simplify:

• 9n³ + 4n
• 7n³ + 6
• -3n³ + 2
• 7n⁶ + 6

(5x⁴ - 4x³ - 2x² + x - 19) - (x⁴ + 5x³ + 8x² + x + 5)

• 4x⁴ - 9x³ - 10x² - 24
• 4x⁴ - 9x³ - 10x² - 2x - 24
• 4x⁴ - 9x³ - 10x² + 2x - 24
• -4x⁴ - 9x³ - 10x² - 24

Which of the following are examples of like terms?

• 2 and 2x

• y³ and x³

• y and x

• -3x and 3x

Add the polynomials.
(2x + 5y) + (3x - 2y)

• 3x + 5y
• 5x + 3y
• 5x + 7y
• 7xy + 1xy

Find the difference. 
(3- 2x + 2x²) - (4x -5 +3x²)

• x_² + 6x + 8
• 2x² + 5x - 7
• -x² -6x + 8
• -2x² + 11x - 4

Simplify each expression.
(6b³ + 6 - b⁴) - (8b³ - 6b⁴ + 2)

• 4b⁴ - 2b³ + 7
• 5b⁴ - 2b³ + 4
• b⁴ - 2b³ + 7
• 5b⁴ - 2b³ + 7

According to exponent rules, when we multiply two powers with the same base we _______ the exponents.

Example: c⁶ ⋅ c⁴

• add

• subtract

• multiply

• divide

According to exponent rules, when we divide two powers with the same base we _______ the exponents.
Example: h⁸ / h³

• add
• subtract
• multiply
• divide

3⁴ ⋅ 3⁷

• 3²⁸

• 3³

• 3^-3

• 3¹¹
