Exponents are used to show repeated multiplication. For example, 43 means 4 · 4 · 4 = 64.
Quotient Properties Of Exponents Calculator
In this section, we will review basic rules of exponents.
Logarithm of a Quotient You can use the similarity between the properties of exponents and logarithms to find the property for the logarithm of a quotient. With exponents, to multiply two numbers with the. Exponent properties with quotients. Practice: Divide powers. Practice: Powers of products & quotients (structured practice) This is the currently selected item.
Product Rule of Exponents aman = am + n
When multiplying exponential expressions that have the same base, add the exponents.
Example:
Multiply: 4x3 · −6x2
Solution:
Multiply coefficients: 4 · −6 = −24
Use the product rule to multiply variables : x3 · x2 = x3 + 2 = x5
4x3 · −6x2 = −24x5
Quotient Rule of Exponents
When dividing exponential expressions that have the same base, subtract the exponents.
Example:
Simplify:
Solution:
Divide coefficients: 8 ÷ 2 = 4
Use the quotient rule to divide variables :
Power Rule of Exponents (am)n = amn
When raising an exponential expression to a new power, multiply the exponents.
Quotient Properties
Example:
Simplify: (7a4b6)2
Solution:
Each factor within the parentheses should be raised to the 2nd power:
(7a4b6)2 = 72(a4)2(b6)2
Simplify using the Power Rule of Exponents :
(7a4b6)2 = 72(a4)2(b6)2 = 49a8b12
0 out of 0 correct.
- A surjective is a quotient map iff ( is closed in iff is closed in ).
- is a quotient map iff it is surjective, continuous and maps open saturated sets to open sets, where in is called saturated if it is the preimage of some set in .
- A quotient map does not have to be open or closed, a quotient map that is open does not have to be closed and vice versa.
Properties of quotient maps
- A restriction of a quotient map to a subdomain may not be a quotient map even if it is still surjective (and continuous).
- If is a quotient map and is saturated with respect to , then if is open or closed, or is open or closed, then is a quotient map.
- If is an open quotient map and is open, then is an open quotient map.
- The composite of two quotient maps is a quotient map.
- The product of two quotient maps may not be a quotient map.
- If both quotient maps are open then the product is an open quotient map.
- Another condition guaranteeing that the product is a quotient map is the local compactness (see Section 29).
Showing that a function is a quotient map
- If a continuous function has a continuous right inverse then it is a quotient map.
- A retraction is a quotient map. A retraction of onto is a continuous map such that for : .
Quotient topology and quotient space
- Let be a partition of the space with the quotient topology induced by where such that , then is called a quotient space of .
- One can think of the quotient space as a formal way of 'gluing' different sets of points of the space.
- For to satisfy the -axiom we need all sets in to be closed.
- For to be a Hausdorff space there are more complicated conditions.
