DIVISION FOR POLYNOMIALS

Laws of Exponents

1. xᵐ ⋅ xⁿ = xᵐ⁺ⁿ a⁴ ⋅ a³ = a⁴⁺³
= a⁷

2. (xᵐ)ⁿ = xᵐⁿ (2³)² = 2⁶ or 64

(2x)⁴ = 2⁴x⁴
3. (xy)ᵐ = xᵐyᵐ
= 16x⁴

ADDITION SUBTRACTION
The operations in words: The operations in words:

add, plus, sum, greater than subtract, minus, difference, less

increased by, more than, exceeds less than, decreased by, reduced by

8 + 7: - 8 plus 7 12 - p: - 12 minus p
- the sum of 8 and 7 - 12 decreased by p
- 7 more than 8 - the difference of 12 and p

5 greater than q: - 5 + q 100 less than m: - m - 100

MULTIPLICATION DIVISION
The operations in words: The operations in words:

times multiply product quotient, divide, ratio

twice, thrice, ... double, triple, ... parts, split into equal

11(3): - 11 times 3 100 ÷ 25: - 100 divided by 25

- the product of 11 and 3 - 100 split into 25 equal parts

thrice p: - 3p
the quotient of t and 10: - t ÷ 10
