Algebra 2 Exponent Simplification Worksheet
To simplify (u³v³ × u³v⁻²)⁴, combine the bases: u⁶v¹. Raising this combination to the fourth power gives (u⁶v)⁴ = u²⁴v⁴ .
To simplify the expression (2yx⁻³)⁻² × y⁻³ × x²y⁴, apply the negative exponent rule: (a^b)^⁻¹ = 1/(a^b) to get (1/(2²y²x⁻⁶)) × y⁻³ × x²y⁴, simplifying gives (1/(4y²/x⁶)) × y⁻³ × x²y⁴. This reduces to (x⁶/4y²)×y⁻³×x²y⁴ = x⁸/(4y).
Simplifying (x⁻³y²)⁻⁴ × x involves inverting and raising each component to the 4th power: (x¹²/y⁸) × x. Combine: x¹³/y⁸ .
To simplify (2uv⁻²)⁻² × (v³)⁻¹, convert to 1 over each term: (1/(4u²v⁻⁴)) × 1/v³, becomes v⁴/4u²v³ which simplifies to v/4u² .
To simplify (v² × 2u²v³)², first expand inside the parentheses: v² × 2u²v³ = 2u²v⁵. Square the result: (2u²v⁵)² = 4u⁴v¹⁰ .
To simplify (2x3y4 × 2xy⁻¹)², first combine the terms within the parentheses: (2×2)(x³×x)(y⁴×y⁻¹) which gives 4x⁴y³. Square this result: (4x⁴y³)² = (4)²(x⁴)²(y³)² = 16x⁸y⁶ .
To simplify the expression (2m⁻¹)⁴ × (2m³n⁴)⁴, apply the power rule (a^b)^c = a^(bc): (2⁴m⁻⁴) × (2⁴m¹²n¹⁶). Then multiply constants and add exponents for matching bases: 256m⁸n¹⁶ .
Simplifying (nm²)⁻⁴ × 2n⁻¹ requires converting the terms: 1/(n⁴m⁸) × 2/n, results in 2/(n⁵m⁸) which simplifies to 2n⁻⁵m⁻⁸ .
To simplify (2x³y³)³ × x³y³, first expand the first part: 8x⁹y⁹. Then multiply by x³y³: 8x¹²y¹² is the simplified form .
Simplifying (2xy⁻³ × x⁻⁴y²)³ involves first combining the terms inside: (2xy⁻³)(x⁻⁴y²) = 2x⁻³y⁻¹. Raise this to the power of 3: (2ⁿxⁿyⁿ) = 8x⁻⁹y⁻³. The final result is 8x³/y³ .
