The Power of a Quotient Rule of Exponents
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
The power of a quotient rule of exponents applies an exponent to numerator and denominator alike: (a/b)ⁿ = aⁿ/bⁿ for nonzero b.
Show
(3/4)² equals 3²/4², which is 9/16 — both the 3 and the 4 get squared.
Watch for
Forgetting to raise the denominator inflates the result.
Builds on
- Nothing — this is a starting point.
Unlocks
- Nothing yet depends on this.
