Applying Exponent Rules

Write this expression using positive exponent:

x^-7

• -7

• -7x

• 1/x⁷

• -1/x⁷

Rewrite using a positive exponent.
g^-7

• ¹/_g⁷

• g⁷

• ¹/_g^-7

• -g⁷

Simplify.

• y⁶⁰

• ¹/_y¹⁶

• y^-16

• y⁴

If a number or variable does not have an exponent, we can assume the exponent is:

• 0

• 1

Simplify:  (-5p)²

• -25p²

• 25p²

• -5p²

• 5p²

Simplify:  (2x/3)⁴

• (8x)/12

• (16x⁴)/81

• (8x)/81

• (2x⁴)/81

Simplify:  (5p⁹q³)(2pq⁷)

• 7p¹⁰q¹⁰

• 10p⁹q²¹

• 10p¹⁰q¹⁰

• 10p⁸q^-4

According to exponent rules, when we raise the power to a power we _______ the exponents.
Example: (d²)⁵

• add

• subtract

• multiply

• divide

According to exponent rules, when we multiply two power with the same base we _______ the exponents.
Example: c⁶ ⋅ c⁴

• add

• subtract

• multiply

• divide

Using exponents, simplify the following expression

• x^-7

• 1/x⁷

• x⁷

• x^-9
