How Jeffrey and Genesis worked together to solve problems where they had to multiply a monomial by a monomial.

Monomial

A.A.13 MULTIPLY MONOMIALS

October 28, 2013Jeffrey M. said to Genesis “I don’t know what to do with the exponents in a multiplying problem.”

Genesis shared, “When you multiply monomials and they have the same base, add the exponents” Then gave this example:

GENESIS’ RULE

“When you multiply monomials and they have the same base, add the exponents”

JEFFREY’S TURNAfter seeing Genesis’ example Jeffrey M. said, “That’s easy give me one to try.”

Genesis said, “Ok, try this…”

JEFFREY’S TURN1st Jeffrey said:

2nd Jeffrey Applied Genesis’ Rule.

3rd Jeffrey applied Genesis’ Rule again

His Final Answer

1

-1x-2y3

GENESIS’ RULE

“When you multiply monomials and they have the same base, add the exponents”

1. Remember Genesis’ Rule

2. Jeffrey preserved through a challenge by being persistent & used resources other than the teacher.

TAKE AWAY

“When you multiply monomials and they have the same base, add the exponents”

QUICK NOTEERIC’S RULE

1st Subtract exponents when dividing powers with the same base.2nd Simplify

GENESIS’ RULEWhen you multiply monomials and they have the same base, add the exponents.

Both of these Rules are known in the math world as the:
