How to use the Power of a Quotient Rule
The Power of a Quotient Rule is another way to simplify exponential terms. There are a few things to consider when using the Power of a Quotient Rule to simplify exponents. First, you must have at least two terms being divided inside a set of parenthesis. Second, the terms must also be being raised to an additional power that is outside of the parenthesis.
In order to simplify using the Power of a Quotient Rule, you must distribute the power on the outside of the parenthesis to every term on the inside of the parenthesis. If there are like terms, you should simplify them first. Then you will then multiply the exponent of each term with the power that was distributed from the outside of the parenthesis.
If there is more than one term in parenthesis, with an exponent outside the parenthesis, then the exponent is distributed to every term in the parenthesis.
