How Do You Find the Factors of a Monomial?
Usually you are supposed to write things in simplest form, but now you need to go backwards and write it in factored form. Some of you may look at it and think it's expanded form. Either way you look at it, watch the teacher break it...

What's the Zero Product Property?
It's hard to just give a verbal explanation of the zero product property in a way that would be understandable. So it would be best to just watch this video and see the teacher write it out on the whiteboard and explain things as she goes.

How Do You Take a Monomial to a Power?
A monomial raised to a power needs to be multiplied. No problem. Use the product of a power rule and the power of a power rule too. Now all that needs to be done is to simplify the product.

How Do You Multiply Quotients of Monomials?
Multiply two monomial rational expressions and then rewrite the solution in simplest form. Multiplying seems straightforward, but what about the reducing part? Find the greatest common factor. Then divide the numerator by the GCF, and...
