Rational Exponents &
Radicals
Mrs. Daniel- Algebra 1
Exponents
Definition: Exponent
• The exponent of a number says how many times to use that number in a multiplication. It is written as a small number to the right and above the base number.
The Zero Exponent Rule
• Any number (excluding zero) to the zero power is always equal to one.
• Examples:
1000=1
1470=1
550 =1
Negative Power Rule
Let’s Practice…1. 5-2
2.3

−1
3. (-3)-3
The One Exponent Rule
• Any number (excluding zero) to the first power is always equal to that number.
• Examples:
a1 = a
71 = 7
531 = 53
The Power Rule (Powers to Powers)
When an exponential expression is raised to a power, multiply the exponents.
Try these…
1. (w4)2 2. (q2)8
3. (x3)4
Products to Powers
(ab)n = anbn
Distribute the exponent/power to allvariables and/or coefficients.
For example:
(6y) 2 = (62)(y2)= 36y2
(7x3)2 = (7)2(x3)2 = 49x6
Let’s Practice…1. (5x2)2 4. (6x4)2
2. (3wk3)3 5. (n5)2(4mn-2)3
3. (-2y)4 6. (5x2)2

Simplifying Radicals
Radical Vocab
How to Simplify Radicals
1. Make a factor tree of the radicand.
2. Circle all final factor pairs.
3. All circled pairs move outside the radical and become single value.
4. Multiply all values outside radical.
5. Multiply all final factors that were not circled. Place product under radical sign.

How to Simplify Cubed Radicals
1. Make a factor tree of the radicand.
2. Circle all final factor groups of three.
3. All circled groups of three move outside the radical and become single value.
4. Multiply all values outside radical.
5. Multiply all final factors that were not circled. Place product under radical sign.

Rational & Irrational Numbers
Rational Numbers• Any number that can be expressed as the
quotient or fraction 𝑝
𝑞of two integers.
• YES:
– Any integers
– Any decimals that
ends or repeats
– Any fraction
• NO:
– Never ending decimals
Irrational Numbers
• Any number that can not be expressed as a fraction.
• Usually a never-ending, non-repeating decimal.
• Examples:
𝜋
2, 5
