Simplify: (6-5 To review, integer exponents are exponents that are integers. Positive integer exponents indicate
how many times we should multiply the base by itself. Negative integer exponents tell us to first flip
the numerator and denominator and then multiply that number by itself the indicated number of
times.

Graph a triangle (xyz) and reflect it over the line y=x to create triangle x’y’z’. describe the transformation using words. draw a line segment from point x to the reflecting line, and then draw a line segment from point x’ to the reflecting line. what do you notice about the two line segments you drew? do you think you would see the same characteristics if you drew the line segment connecting y with the reflecting line and then y’ with the reflecting line? how do you know?
