Key Concepts:
- Product Rule: (a^m \cdot a^n = a^{m+n}).
- Power Rule: ((a^m)^n = a^{m \cdot n}).
- Quotient Rule: (\frac{a^m}{a^n} = a^{m-n}).
Skills Covered:
- Applying exponent rules to simplify expressions.
- Rewriting expressions with exponent properties.
Example Problems:
- Simplify: (x^3 \cdot x^2); Solution: (x^5)
- Simplify: ((y^2)^3); Solution: (y^6)
- Simplify: (\frac{z^5}{z^2}); Solution: (z^3)
