Apply the Properties of Integer Exponents to generate equivalent expressions to

1 answer

To apply the properties of integer exponents and generate equivalent expressions, we can use the following key properties:

  1. Product of Powers Property: aman=am+n
  2. Quotient of Powers Property: aman=amn (where a0)
  3. Power of a Power Property: (am)n=amn
  4. Power of a Product Property: (ab)n=anbn
  5. Power of a Quotient Property: (ab)n=anbn (where b0)

Let's generate some equivalent expressions using these properties. We'll take an example expression and apply these properties to create equivalent forms.

Example Expression: x3x5

Using the Product of Powers Property: x3x5=x3+5=x8

Now, let's apply the Power of a Product Property to another expression like (2x2)3: (2x2)3=23(x2)3=8x23=8x6

For an expression that involves division, consider a5a2: Using the Quotient of Powers Property: a5a2=a52=a3

Let’s combine some of these properties. Given the expression (3xy2)2: Using the Power of a Product Property: (3xy2)2=32(x)2(y2)2=9x2y22=9x2y4

If you have a specific expression in mind that you'd like to manipulate using these properties, please let me know, and I can provide a more tailored simplification!
