📚 Introduction to Laws of Exponents and Video Overview
The speaker, Teacher Gone, introduces the topic of laws of exponents and explains their importance in simplifying mathematical expressions. He emphasizes that without understanding these laws, simplifying expressions would be difficult. The introduction also includes a call to action for viewers to like, subscribe, and stay updated with his content. He provides an initial example of base and exponent using the number 5 raised to the power of 3 and explains the concept of expanded form (5 x 5 x 5 = 125).
✖️ The Product Rule for Exponents
This section introduces the Product Rule, explaining that when multiplying two expressions with the same base, you add their exponents. Examples are provided to illustrate how this works, including multiplying 3 raised to 2 with 3 raised to 2 (resulting in 3 raised to 4, which equals 81), and x raised to 4 multiplied by x raised to 5 (resulting in x raised to 9). Another example involves numbers and variables (negative and positive), showing how to handle multiplication when combining coefficients and bases.
➗ The Quotient Rule for Exponents
This paragraph explains the Quotient Rule, which applies when dividing two expressions with the same base. To simplify, the exponents are subtracted. Examples include x raised to 5 divided by x raised to 3 (resulting in x squared) and a more complex expression involving variables and coefficients, such as (4a^10b^6) divided by (8a^5b^5), which simplifies to (1/2)a^5b. The speaker thoroughly explains the process of dividing coefficients and subtracting exponents for variables.
🛠️ The Power Rule for Exponents
The Power Rule is discussed here, which applies when raising a power to another power. The rule is to multiply the exponents. Several examples are used to illustrate this: x raised to 5 squared simplifies to x raised to 10, and 2 raised to 3 squared simplifies to 2 raised to 6, or 32. A more complex example with x raised to 4 over y raised to 3 raised to the third power shows how to apply the rule by multiplying exponents in both the numerator and denominator.
💡 The Power of a Product Rule for Exponents
This paragraph introduces the Power of a Product Rule, which states that when a product is raised to a power, each factor inside the parentheses is raised to that power. Examples include expressions like (x^5 y)^3, which simplifies to x^15 y^3, and a more complex expression involving multiple variables and coefficients, showing the detailed process of distributing the exponent to each factor.
0️⃣ Zero Exponent Rule for Exponents
The Zero Exponent Rule is explained, stating that any number or variable (except zero) raised to the power of zero equals 1. The speaker gives several examples, such as 5 raised to 0 equals 1, and 12x raised to 0 simplifies to 12 since x^0 equals 1. Another example simplifies to 4, showing how the rule applies even in more complex expressions.
➖ Negative Exponent Rule for Exponents
The Negative Exponent Rule is introduced, explaining that a negative exponent indicates a reciprocal. For instance, a number raised to a negative exponent (a^(-x)) is equivalent to 1 over a^x. Examples include simplifying expressions like 7 raised to -1, which becomes 1/7, and x raised to -5, which simplifies to 1 over x raised to 5. The speaker concludes with a more complex example involving both negative exponents and coefficients.

hi guys it's me teacher gone
in today's video we will talk about loss
of exponents
so what is the importance of studying
this kind of topic in mathematics
going to gamma that in lots of exponents
in simplifying
expressions so without the knowledge of
loss of exponents
hindi native magdaleno simplifying
expressions
so if you're new to my channel don't
forget to like and subscribe
and hit the link below
uploads again i am teacher gone
let's do this topic now before i start
discussing the different laws of
exponents
in our video today
so we have here a number a number five
this one is
called base it in base nothing
at your number number at the upper right
corner of five of your base
unit 3 this one is called as the
exponent
exponent
[Music]
the exponent indicates how many times
nothing that i'm eating factor
in b so in expanded form
five raised to three nothing is simply
five
times five times five
as you can see three times that i mean
multiply your adding base
because the exponent is three and
simplifying five times five times five
that will give you one hundred twenty
five i hope nasa review exponent of a
given expression
now let's move on with the first law of
exponent
we have here the first law which is
synthetic
product rule so what is meant by the
product rule
this one is the illustration of the
product rule so as you can see we have
here a
raised to m a
raised to n so expense a nat and this is
her base
this is the exponent of a and another
base
is a as your exponential second letter a
nothing is n
so how do we perform the product rule
so again we have a raised to m times
a raised to n symbian rule so command
and add exponents since the bases are
the same
you need to copy a and then simply add
exponents
m and n that's why the answer here is
a raised to m plus n so that will negan
manually company rule using these
examples
for number one we have three
raised to two times three raised to two
so as you can see in base net net
since the bases are the same all you
need to do is stock up your
base and add your exponents
2 plus 2
and simplify your exponent that will
give you
3 raised to 4. and we know now and three
raised to four nothing is simply
three times three times three times
three
and that is equal to eighty-one this is
the answer
for item number one applying the product
rule
now let's move on with item number two
for item number two
so we have here the expressions x raised
to four
times x raised to five so same ringtone
we need to multiply multiply your adding
operation but
i'll rule nathan if the bases are the
same
all you need to do is to copy the base
your x
and then simply add your exponents four
plus
five and simplifying it
it will give you the answer of x raised
to
9. product rule
so i hope that's the first two examples
from latin alumni
company now let's move on with the item
number three
for item number three so uh
is multiply the numbers so i'm not in
that
two times negative four is equal to
negative eight and then as you can see
marine time para is a base which is an x
copy your base x and then add
exponents you have two admiration
invisible one
so that is plus one
and then copy on y so simplifying this
this will give you the answer of
negative eight x raised to three
y this is the answer for item number
3. now let's move on with the next rule
or the next law for the exponents we
have here
the quotient
so let me give you the illustration of
this rule
we have a raised to m over
a raised to n which is capacitively
finite in
calculus
and then capacitance rule subtract the
exponents
that's why the answer is simply a raised
to m
minus n so try that as example number
one
we have here the expression
x raised to five over
x raised to three so surpassing agua or
pandavas in simplifying
dental classes expression so given this
kind of expression
all you need to do is to apply the
quotient rule
so observe
so all you need to do is to copy the
base copy
on base x
and then subtract your exponent
exponent numerator so that will be
x raised to five minus
three now simplifying that one
it will give you the answer of x raised
to
2 or x squared this is the answer for
item number one
so concept
and quotient rule now let's move on with
item number four
or number two sorry item number two we
have the given expression
for a raised to ten b raised to six
over eight a raised to five
b raised to five or nothing more numbers
or in coefficients
so simplifying four over eight that is
simply one half
and then for the variables as you can
see
meaning you need to copy the variable a
and then subtract exponents of it which
is 10
minus 5. and then
as you can see for the other variable
parasol at in b
copy your variable b and then subtract
exponents
that will give you six minus
five and simplifying the exponents that
will give you
one half
a raised to five b
raised to one at since one lanyard
these are the possible answers for item
number two
now for the third law of exponent we
have here the power rule
so we have this illustration a
raised to m raised to n so how do we
simplify this kind of expression
using power rule all you need to do is
stock up your base a
and then simply multiply the exponents
that's why we have here
a raised to m n so let's have example
number one
parameter plane we have here
x raised to five raised to two so final
benefit
going to mandito is copier x as the base
and then simply five times two
and that will give you x raised to ten
that's it for item number one
and then for item number tournament your
base is two
raised to three raised to two copy your
base 2
then multiply the exponents 3 times 2
that will give you 2
raised to 5 and we know that the
expanded form of 2 raised to 5
is 2 times 2 times 2 times 2
times 2. that is equivalent to
32. okay so i hope that's the first two
examples fallout
you can grasp the concept of power rule
now let's move on with item number three
now for item number three we have x
raised to four
over y raised to three so how do we
simplify this kind of expression
using power rule so ginaguanatendito
is that you need to use this kind of
expression
expand the latin this will become x
raised to 4 raised to 3
over your y
raised to 3 and then
applying the power rule you can multiply
the exponents of your numerator
and your denominator which is equal to
x raised to 4 times 3
over y
raised to 1 times 3 and then simplifying
the exponents
it will give you x raised to 12
over y raised to three
this is the answer for item number one
so that is the power rule and let's move
on with the fourth example
fourth rule for the loss of exponents
we have the power of a product rule
so finally not playing power of a
project rule
so
[Music]
we have a times b or a b
raised to m and then simply
that is equivalent to a raised to m b
raised to m so let's apply
the power of a product tool for item
number one
so for this one and that will now minus
you need to distribute
the exponent outside the parenthesis so
that is equal to
x raised to 5 times 3
and then for the exponent of y alumni
written one
so you have y raised to 1
times 3 and simplifying this expression
this will give you x raised to 15
because 5 times 3 is equal to 15
and then for the y variable the exponent
is
three this is the answer for item number
one let's move on with either number two
we have the quantity of c squared b
raised to four
squared raised to 2. so simply on the
mind all you need to do is
to distribute the exponent outside the
parenthesis
and expand line at n this will give you
4
exponent of 1 times 2
and then for the c variable c raised to
2
i think i am exponent and then times 2.
for the b variable you have p
raised to 4 times two and simplifying
this
will give you four raised to
c raised to four and b raised to eight
we're not yet done cassette on four
squared netting
can be simplified as 16
c raised to 4 b raised to 8 meaning
the correct answer for item number 2
is simply 16 c raised to the fourth
power
and b raised to six so let's have the
fifth one
which is into the tag that in zero prod
zero exponent rule so in rule
any number any variable
an expression except zero
that is raised by zero that is
equivalent
to one so for you to have
the concept of this rule
let's have item number one we have here
five raised to zero
and sabi and any number except zero we
just rest by zero
that is equivalent one this is equal to
one
okay so let's have item number
two for number 12 for number two
we have 12 x raised to zero as you can
see
your x naught and so that will become
two times one cassette
x-ray zero netting i'm sorry x-ray
zero naught n is equivalent to one
tandanna
is
so we have here 12 times 1 and
simplifying this this will give you
12. this is the answer for item number
13. i number two let's move on with item
number three
for item number three expense
x raised to zero that is equivalent to
one so we can have one
plus three again in value
is one so we have one plus three and
then as you can see
an expression at all is raised by a zero
therefore one nausea so times one
and simplify nothing this will give you
four times one meaning
is simply four grand
organically of exponents
okay
now let's move on with the last rule in
the melody
tutorial we have the negative exponent
rule illustration
you have a raised to negative x
is equal to 1 over
a raised to x so
negative exponent it's a final answer so
simplifying
simplifying of expressions so
nothing positive exponent so as you can
see
i explained a raise to
negative x net n can be represented as
fraction vlan and denominator n1
to make it positive since it has a
numerator the line belongs to
any denominator that's why the answer is
one
over a raised to x
so for number one we have seven raised
to negative x
so
numerator is
1 over 7
raised to 1. again denominator
or simply one over seven
in a simplified form no
item number one one over
seven so let's move on with item number
two
for item number two x raised to negative
five
same thing with number one that is
equivalent to one
over x raised to five
grandchildren number three
we have three x raised to negative three
as you can see
in your term or expression i mean
negative exponent
denominator so
to make it positive so the answer for
item number three
is to x raised to three
this is the answer for item number
three so i hope nana tutorial is a video
about the different lost exponents so
