Interpret expressions that represent a quantity in terms of its context. Interpret parts of an expression, such as terms, factors, and coefficients.Understanding and applying the division property of exponents is a crucial skill in algebra. In this section, we will look at the exponent properties for division. How do I deal with coefficients in the numerator and denominator? Treat the coefficients as separate factors. The second law states that to divide two exponential functions with the same base, we subtract the exponents. How can you divide two powers that have the same base? Work with a partner. a. Each rule shows how to solve different types of math equations and how to add, subtract, multiply and divide exponents.
