Very good! Thank you.

This activity wants you to know our topic today.

(Student will raise their hands and answer the
question)
 So, with that what do you think our topic
Ma’am, it’s all about Exponent.
for today?

Very good!
Okay, let’s start our discussion, listen carefully.
C. Proper Discussion

Our topic today is the types of exponents.

 LAW OF EXPONENT
 An exponent is a small number written on the
right side of a coefficient.

 It tells how many times you multiply the

coefficient by itself. It also called POWER or
INDICES.

Thank you!
We have here some examples, we have 32 .

 When you come across the expression 32.

Here, we say that 3 is the base and 2 is the
exponent, which means 3 times 3 is equal to
9.
  In integers it is written as 32= (3 )( 3 )
2
3 = (3 x 3 )

 The expression x 3 can be written in expanded

form as: (x)(x)(x) or ( x ⋅ x ⋅ x )

2 3
3 can be read as: x can be read as:
 Three squared  X cube
 Three with the  X with the
power of two power of 3
 Three raise to  X raise to
the second the third
power power
 Three raise to  X raise to
the power of the power
two of 3

So, after knowing what is exponent let’s proceed to

the rules of Exponent.

The first rule is;

a. PRODUCT RULE
Simplify ( 23 ) ( 24 )

o ( 23 ) ( 24 )=¿
=( 2 ⋅ 2⋅ 2 ) ⋅ ( 2 ⋅ 2⋅2 ⋅ 2 )

We expand the terms by applying the

definition of exponent.

=( 2 ⋅ 2⋅ 2 ⋅2 ⋅ 2⋅ 2 ⋅2 )

We group the expanded terms into one.

=21+1 +1+1+1 +1+1

Yes, ma’am.
=27 or 128
We add all the exponents of the base 2.
Therefore, ( 23 ) ( 24 )=23+ 4=7

Am I clear class?

In general, the above expressions can be

expressed in a form of a m ⋅ an=am+n for any real
numbers, a and positive integers m and n. This
means if we multiply expressions with the same
base we simply add the exponents and copy the
base.
Another example: (Student will raise their hands and answer)
Examples in simplifying expressions. 1. ( x 3 ) ( x 8 )=x 3 +8=11
11
¿x
1. ( x 3 ) ( x 8 )=x 3 +8=11
¿ x 11
Thus, ( x 3 ) ( x 8 )=x 11

Who wants to try?

Very good!

So, the expressions contain one variable x,

applying the product rule add the exponents
directly and copy the base x.

2. ( a 2 b 3 )( a5 b )=a2+5 b3 +1
2 +5=7 3+1=4
¿a b
7 4
¿a b
Thus, ( a b )( a b )=¿ a 7 b 4
2 3 5

The expressions contain two variables (a and b),

applying the product rule add the exponents of a
and add the exponents of b, and copy the base (a (Student will raise their hand and answers the
and b). given problem)
Note: In a variable b the exponent is 1. ( 2 x 3 y 4 )( 3 x 2 y7 )=( 2 ) ( 3 ) x 3 +2 y 4 +7
3+2=5 4+7 =11
¿6 x y
3. ( 2 x 3 y 4 )( 3 x 2 y7 )=( 2 ) ( 3 ) x 3 +2 y 4 +7 ¿6 x y
5 11

3+2=5 4+7 =11

¿6 x y
¿ 6 x 5 y 11

Who wants to try this one?

Very good!

So, in the expressions like this, multiply the

constants first. In that example the constants are
2 and 3.

Thus, ( 2 x 3 y 4 )( 3 x 2 y7 )=6 x 5 y11

The expressions contain two variable x and y, so

add the exponents of x and exponents of y.
 4. ( 4 x 5 )( 6 x 3 ) ( x 7 )=( 4 )( 6 ) ( 1 ) x 5 +3+7
¿ ( 24 )( 1 ) x11
¿ 24 x 15 Yes, ma’am.

Thus, ( 4 x 5 )( 6 x 3 ) ( x 7 )=24 x15 None, ma’am.

Multiply the constant of the expressions. In that

example the constants are 4, 6 and 1.
The expressions contain one variable x, so add its
exponents and copy the base.

Note: x 7 has an invisible constant of 1.

Let’s proceed to other rules that follow under the

power rule those are: the Product-to-Power Rule and
the Quotient-to-Power Rule.

a. Product-to-Power Rule

Understood class?

Is there any questions or clarification?

D. Generalization

What is exponent? (The students will raise their hand and answer the
following questions)

Ma’am, according to our discussion exponent is a

small number written on the right side of a
coefficient.
It tells how many times you multiply the
coefficient by itself. It also called POWER or
INDICES.
Thank you for that answer!

What is the formula to get the answers in using (The students will raise their hand and answer the
product rule for any real numbers? following questions)
Ma’am, a m ⋅ an=am+n
Very good, thank you!

Is everyone understood our discussion today?

Yes, ma’am.
Am I clear?
Yes, ma’am.
Is there any question or clarification?
None, ma’am.
