Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related ALG2.30 Identifying and Correcting Exponent Misconceptions skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery
A student simplifies ((x2 y^(-1))2 (xy)0) / (x^(-3)) as x4 y^(-2) / x^(-3) = x y^(-2). Which explanation best corrects the final step, for nonzero x and y?
ADividing by x^(-3) means subtracting a negative exponent, so the result is x7 / y2
BThe x exponents should cancel completely, so the result is 1 / y2
CThe y exponent should become positive before combining, so the result is x / y
DThe zero exponent makes the whole expression 0
Solution & Explanation:Since (xy)0 = 1, the expression is x4 y^(-2) / x^(-3). For the x terms, subtract exponents: 4 - (-3) = 7. So the simplified result is x7 / y2.
Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery
A student treats 25^(3/2) as 253 / 2. What is the correct value of 25^(3/2)?
Solution & Explanation:Compute the square root first: 25^(1/2) = 5. Then cube to get 53 = 125.
Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery
A classmate simplifies ((ab)2)3 / (a4 b5) as a5 b5. Which simplification is correct instead, assuming a and b are nonzero?
Aab
Ba2 b
Ca2 / b
Da b2
Solution & Explanation:First, ((ab)2)3 = (ab)6 = a6 b6. Then divide by a4 b5 to get a^(6-4) b^(6-5) = a2 b.
