5.01 Exponents

Objective: To multiply and divide numbers in exponential form

Narration: When multiplying numbers in exponential form with equal bases, add the exponents.  When dividing numbers in exponential form with equal bases, subtract the exponents.  When a number in exponential form is raised to a power, multiply the exponents.

Assignment: Page 207: #10 – 20, 28 – 34, 40 – 45, 67 – 70; Page 212: #12 -20

 

5.02 Monomials

Objective: To multiply and divide monomials

Narration: A monomial is a numeral, variable, or a product of numerals and variables with whole number exponents

Assignment: Page 215: #8 – 18, 25 – 35; Page 216: #50 – 60

 

5.03 Scientific Notation

Objective: To write numbers in scientific notation

Narration: Scientific notation involves a number with one digit to the left of the decimal point that is multiplied by a power of ten.

5.04 Combining Like Terms             

Objective: To simplify a polynomial by collecting like terms                 

Narration: Terms whose variable factors are exactly the same are called like terms.  5x3y2 and 2x3y2  are like terms.

Assignment:  Page 224: #25 – 35

 

5.05 Add, Subtract, or Multiply Polynomials/FOIL Method

Objective: To add, subtract, or multiply polynomials

Narration: When adding and subtracting polynomials, arrange the terms in descending order for one of the variables.  Another approach is to write the polynomials in column form, aligning the like terms so they can be easily added.  When subtracting and there is a subtraction sign in front of parentheses, distribute the negative sign; the terms within the parentheses change to the opposite of their original sign.  To multiply monomials by binomials, think of it as the distributive property; when multiplying a binomial times another binomial, think of it as using the distributive property twice.  A “short cut” for multiplying binomials (FOIL) is explained here or on page 241 or your textbok.

Assignment: Page 233: 5 – 15; Page 238: 7 – 13, 25 – 29; Page 242: 15 – 28; Page 243: 45 – 50

 

5.06  Difference of Squares, Perfect Squares

Objective:  To multiply the sum and difference of two expressions and to square a binomial

Narration: The product of the sum and difference of two terms is the square of the first terms minus the square of the second term.  The square of a binomial is the square of the first term, plus or minus twice the product of the two terms, plus the square of the last term.  Remember: the square of two binomials will have a “middle term”!

Assignment:  Page 247: 1 – 8, 21 – 26

 

5.07  Multiplying Polynomials

Objective:  To multiply any two polynomials

Narration:  To multiply two polynomials, multiply each term of one polynomial by every term of the other polynomial
