    Product Rule

    • Look at the right and see what happens when you multiply powers that have the same base

    • When you expand 32 you have two 3s being multiplied and when you expand 33 you have three 3s being multiplied.

    • All together how many 3s are you multiplying?

    Product Rule Short Cut?!!

    When you multiply same base powers you keep the base and add the exponents.

    x2 * x7 = x2+7 = x9

    Quotient Rule

    • When dividing powers that have the same base think of dividing as the inverse of multiplying, so what is the inverse of adding?

    • When you expand x5 you have five Xs being multiplied in the numerator and when you expand x2 you have two Xs being multiplied in the denominator.

    • So what happens when you have the Xs in the numerator and Xs in the denominator? Yup! you cross out the matching pairs!

    • Now what did you end up with?

    Quotient Rule Short Cut?!!

    When you divide same base powers you keep the base and subtract the exponents.

    x7 / x2 = x7-2 = x5
