Example 19 w + 21 w - 27 w - ( - 4 w )
Solution:
19 w + 21 w - 27 w - ( - 4 w ) = [ 19 + 21 - 27 - ( - 4 ) ] w
= [ 19 + 21- 27 + 4 ] w
= 17 w
Multiplying and Dividing Monomials :
(I) Multiplication :
i) To multiply monomials, add the exponents of the same bases.
ii) The coefficients follow the rules of signed numbers.
iii) When monomials are being raised to a power, the answer is obtained by multiplying the exponents of each part of the monomial by the power to Which it is being raised.
(II) Division :
i) To divide monomials, subtract the exponent of the divisor from the exponent of the dividend, having the same base.
ii) Division of coefficients follows the rules of signed numbers.
