1.  Rational Numbers

Converting Fractions or Mixed numbers to decimals.

3/4  means 3 divided by 4
.75

Converting decimals to fractions and mixed numbers.

2.375

First everything on the left side of the decimal stays the same. 
2     

next we look at the .375
That is 375/1000 All you have to do now is reduce it down.

and you end up with 2  3/8.


Repeating decimals.

.14141414...

you count the number of digits that repeat.  I see that 14 are repeating  So i have 2 digits.

You put 14 on top and a 9 for each digit that repeats.


14/99=.14141414...

Terminating Decimal: is a repeating decimal where the repeating digit is zero.
Repeating Decimal: is the decimal form of a rational number
Rational Numbers: number that can be written as a comparison of two integers, expressed as a fraction.
Integer:  Whole number that are positive (3) or negative (-3) or neutral (0)

Lesson 2


8 is the base
2 is the exponent
this is equal to 8*8=64

4^3=4*4*4
(-4)=(-4)*(-4)*(-4)


Power= Numbers using an exponent and base
Base= the common factor in a power
exponent= the number of times the base s used as a factor.

Lesson 3 Multiplying and Dividing Monomials

When you multiply Monomials you add the exponents

a^4 * a^5 = a^4+5= a^9


When you divide monomials you subtract the exponents. 
(a^4)/a^2= a^4-2=a^2

Monomial is a number, a variable, or a product of a number and one or more variables.

Lesson 4 Powers of Monomials

When you find power of powers you multiply the exponents

(p^3)^4=(p^3)*(p^3)*(p^3)*(p^3)= p^3*4=P^12

Lesson 5 Negative Exponents
Negative Exponents  are like fractions ex
3^-4=   1/(3^4)
