Learning Targets

Quantities with exponents can be tedious to write out. Luckily there are shortcuts. This section looks at both methods.

Target 1: Use rules of exponents to simplify expressions

• Multiply expressions with the same base
• Power to a Power rule
• Simplify fractions with exponents

Target 2: Use rules of exponents to simplify 0 and negative exponents

• Zero to any power definition
• Simplify negative exponents with multiplication and division

Target 3: Use rules of exponents to simplify fractional exponents

• Change between radical and fractional power notation
• Simplify using both radical and fractional powers
