Exponent Rules and Simplification

The video tutorial from MooMooMath and Science explains how to simplify mathematical expressions using exponent rules. It covers handling negative exponents by moving them across the fraction line to make them positive. The tutorial provides three examples, demonstrating the process of multiplying terms, applying exponent rules, and simplifying the results. The video emphasizes the importance of moving terms with negative exponents and combining like terms correctly. The tutorial concludes with a reminder to apply kindness in daily life.

What is the first step in handling a negative exponent?

• Add it to the base

• Move it to the opposite side of the fraction

• Ignore it

• Multiply it by zero

When multiplying terms with exponents, what should you do with the exponents?

• Multiply them

• Divide them

• Subtract them

• Add them

In the expression 5x times 9x, what is the resulting coefficient?

• 14

• 45

• 9

• 5

How do you simplify an expression with a negative exponent in the denominator?

• Subtract 1 from the exponent

• Add 1 to the exponent

• Leave it as is

• Move it to the numerator

What is the result of simplifying 20 over 2x with exponents?

• 10 over x to the ninth

• 20 over x squared

• 10 over x squared

• 20 over x to the ninth

In the final example, what happens to the negative exponent on the bottom?

• It is subtracted from the numerator

• It is added to the numerator

• It is ignored

• It is moved to the top

What is the simplified form of 3 squared?

• 12

• 3

• 9

• 6

What should you do if you have a negative exponent on both the top and bottom of a fraction?

• Subtract them

• Add them together

• Ignore them

• Move both to the opposite sides

What is the result of 3 times 3?

• 6

• 9

• 12

• 3

What is the key takeaway from the video regarding exponent rules?

• Always add exponents

• Negative exponents should be moved

• Ignore negative exponents

• Multiply exponents by zero
