LAWS OF EXPONENTS
1. Product of Powers (am) (an) = am+n (m2)(m3) = m2+3 = m5
2. Power of a Product (𝑎 ⋅ 𝑏)m = ambm (2x)2 = 22x2 = 4x2
3. Power of a Power (am)n = 𝑎𝑚⋅𝑛 (a3)2 = a3(2) = a6
4. Quotient of Powers am/an = am-n , an≠ 0 b6/b3 = b6-3 = b3
5. Power of a Quotient (a/b)m = am/bm , b≠ 0 (3/x)2 = 32/x2 = 9/x2
6. Zero Exponent Rule a0 = 1 , a≠ 0 (2x)0+5x0 = 1+5 = 6
7. Negative Exponent a-m = 1/am , am≠ 0 n-4 = 1/n4
MULTIPLICATION OF POLYNOMIALS
1. Monomial by a polynomial
-distribute the monomial to each of the terms in the polynomial using the laws of
exponents.
Ex: (2x)(3x2+2) = 6x3+4x
2. Product of Two Binomials
-use the FOIL Method
3. Cube of a Binomial
-use the rule: (a+b)3 = (a)3+3(a)2(b)+3(a)(b)2+(b)3
