Recall: In the expression , a is called the base and b is called the exponent. For positive integral values of b, b tells us how many times we need to multiply the base with itself. Laws of Exponents: i.) , ii.) , iii.) , iv.) , v.) , where , . 1) Simplify the following, giving the answer in exponential form. (All variables are non-zero) a.) d.) f.) b.) c.) 2.1) What is the value of , what is the value of e.) g.)

? By extending the Law of Exponents ii.) to include the case ?

2.2) What can be concluded about the value of ? Is ? 2.3) By using an argument similar with 2.1), extend the Law of Exponents ii.) to include the case where . 2.4) Simplify the following without using negative exponents. (All variables are non-zero) a.) , b.) , c.) , d.) with 64. , e.)

3.1) What is the value of

? Write an equation relating ? .

3.2) Suppose we want to define include fractions, what is 3.3) But also, explain why

. If the Law of Exponents i.) were to be extended to

3.4) By combining the results of 3.1), 3.2), and 3.3), what then is the value of

? What is the
