Quotients of Powers
Section 8.3
Big Idea
• Because of the relationship between multiplication and division, quotients of powers can be themselves written as powers
Goal• Develop and apply the Quotient of Powers
Property
HW Answers 8.2
Quotient of Powers
• By expanding the exponent and cross cancelling you can simplify division of powers.
• EX:
• Can you think of a short cut to get the same result?

Quotient of Powers Rule: for all non zero b, if you divide two powers with the same bases, you can subtract the exponents.

1) Fill in the blank with properties of exponents(includes the Quotient of a powers property)
a) bm ∙ bn = b) (bm)n = c) = bm-n d) 49500000 = scientific notation
