A. Introduction
(Day 1)
B. Development
You have learned in previous lessons about laws of
exponents. Let us recall these laws:
a. Product of a Power a m ∙ an =am +n
am m−n
b. Qoutient of a Power: n =a
a
c. Power of a Power: (a¿ ¿ m)n=amn ¿
d. Power of a Product: (a ∙ b)m=am am
a m am
e. Power of a Quotient: () b
= m
b
In the process of performing the laws of exponents it
may result to a positive, negative, or zero exponents. In this
lesson you will learn on how to simplify expressions with
integral (positive or negative integers) or zero exponent
applying the different laws of exponents.

(Day 2-3) a2
Simplify the expression . Write this expression in
a2
a∙a
factored form =1. Applying the laws of exponent, quotient
a∙a
a2 2−2 0
of a power, =a =a =1. Thus, for any variable/number a,
a2
where a ≠ 0, a 0=1.

Examples:
1. 12 x0 =12 ( 1 )=12, only variable x is raised to zero power.
2. (12 x)0=(12)0 (x )0=1(1)=1, applying the law of power of a
product, both 12 and x are raised to zero power.
3. ( x 0 +3)¿, the expression ( x +3) is raised to zero power so
it is equal to 1.

Integral Exponent
An expression has an integral exponent if the exponent
is either positive or negative integers.
The expressions like 3 x , 5 x−2+2 , m−8, are examples or
expressions with integral exponents.
One of the laws of exponent is quotient of a power that
m
a m−n
is n =a . Apply this law of exponent in simplifying the
a
following:
x4 4−2 2
1. 2 =x =x . You can use factoring to check the
x
x∙ x∙x ∙x
answer: =x ∙ x=x 2
x∙x
x2 2−4 −2
2. 4 =x =x . The exponent is negative. Use factoring
x
x2 x ∙x 1
to simplify the expression. 4 = = 2.
x x ∙x ∙x ∙x x
The negative sign in the exponent means the reciprocal.
−n 1
Thus a = n . Similarly if the expression with negative
a
exponent is in the denominator, get its reciprocal to express
1 n
the exponent as positive. Therefore, −n =a .

Solution: Observe the exponents of each variable. Let
the variable with greater exponent remain in its position
but subtract the smaller exponent from the larger
