Lesson: Simplifying Exponential Expressions with Rational Exponents Mathematics • Second Year of Secondary School

In this lesson, we will learn how to perform operations and simplifications with expressions that involve rational exponents.

Lesson Plan

Students will be able to

evaluate numerical, and simplify algebraic, expressions raised to rational powers whose numerator is positive or negative 1,
evaluate numerical, and simplify algebraic, expressions raised to rational powers whose numerator is greater than 1 or less than ,
simplify multiterm expressions containing rational exponents,
simplify expressions in which the exponent is an expression formed of rational numbers and variables.
