5.1 - Monomials

The document defines monomials as expressions containing numbers, variables, or the product of numbers and variables without variables in denominators or with negative exponents. It provides examples of monomial and non-monomial expressions. The document also defines constants as monomials containing no variables. It then outlines six rules for exponents, including the product, quotient, and power of powers rules. It provides examples of simplifying expressions using exponent rules. The document concludes by defining scientific notation and providing examples of expressing numbers in scientific notation and evaluating scientific notation expressions and examples.
