Guided Notes
Key concepts students will learn:
- •
When multiplying exponential terms with the same base, such as xᵃ * xᵇ, you add the exponents, resulting in x to the power of a + b.
- •
When raising a power to a power, such as (xᵃ)ᵇ, you multiply the exponents, resulting in x to the power of a * b.
- •
When simplifying expressions, remember that a term like 2ˣ⁺³, can be rewritten as 2ˣ * 2³, which simplifies to 8 * 2ˣ.
