If the rational expressions have large exponent, then you need to factor out this way:
(a + b)ⁿ = (a + b)(a + b)...(a + b) [So there are n "(a + b)" factors.]
Here are the examples...
(a + b)³ = (a + b)(a + b)(a + b)
(a + b)4 = (a + b)(a + b)(a + b)(a + b)

What tells how many times a number is used as a factor?
An exponent tells how many times a number is used as a factor.
How do you factor 30d with a 5 as an exponent?
2 x 3 x 5 x d
Is a number that indicates how many times a factor is repeated?
The exponent tells us how many times we can divide the factor.For example: 192 = 26*3 tells us we can divide 192 by 2 six times, but by 3 only once.
How are factors and exponents related?
An exponent is a number that indicates how many copies of the base are to be multiplied together. An exponent is a number like any other and its factors - if any - are foud in the same way as the factor of any other number.
What is it called when a number is used as a repeated factor?
Exponents 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 = 23 x 33
What is a rational exponent in math?
If the exponent or raised power of a number is in the form of p/q the exponent is said to be rational exponent. For example= 11/2 22/3
How do you write mixed expressions as rational expressions?
8+3/n
What is rational exponent?
An example is the 2/3 in 122/3.
What rational exponent represents a cube root?
3
Which rational exponent represents a cube root?
1/3
How is dividing rational expressions like multiplying rational expressions?
To divide by a fraction, you simply multiply by the reciprocal. For example, dividing by 3/5 is the same as multiplying by 5/3.
How do you do complex rational expressions?
3+x/2 /5/4
Are all radical expressions irrational?
No. Radical(9) is +3 or -3, both of which are rational.
How do you multiply rational algebraic expression?
Multiplying Rational Expressions After studying this lesson, you will be able to: * Multiply rational expressions. Steps to multiply a rational expression: 1. Cancel numerator to denominator if possible (don't cancel parts of a binomial or trinomial) 2. Factor the numerators and denominators if possible. 3. Multiply straight across - remember, you don't need a common denominator to multiply fractions (or rational expressions). Example 1 Nothing will cancel. Nothing will factor. All we have to do is multiply. This is the simplified answer. Example 2 We can do some canceling and reducing in this problem. 2 and 16 reduces; 9 and 3 reduces, reduce the variables. Now, we multiply. This is the simplified expression. Example 3 We can reduce 12 and 3 and reduce the variables Now, factor the second denominator. Cancel the identical binomials (x + 5 ) This is the simplified expression. Example 4 Factor Cancel the identical binomials. This is the simplified expression. Example 5Factor Cancel the identical binomials. This is the simplified expression. THIS WAS MADE BY: www.algebra-online.com/multiplying-rational-expressions-1.htm Hope this helped !
What is an exponent of 12?
exponent of 12?Perhaps you mean factor thus;22 * 3= 12====
What rational exponent represents a cube root taken to the fourth power?
4/3
How do you determine the exponent when rewriting an expression of repeated multiplication in exponential form?
The exponent for a factor is the number of times that the factor appras in the multiplication. An exponent of 1 is not usually written out. So, 2*2*2*3*3*3*3*5 = 23*34*5
