Division Involving Exponents

Those who took the chapter 7 test earlier this week were able to see their scores. The tests were not distributed for keeping as 2 students have not taken the test yet.

When dividing expressions involving expornents, there are two basic rules to remember. The first is the Quotient of Powers Property, which involves subtracting exponents when the bases are the same. The second is the Power of Quotients Property, which requires you to apply the exponent to both the numerator and the denominator of the fraction. See the narrative in Lesson 8.3 for further explanation and examples.
