    Study Notes

    Exponent Rules

    • Product Rule: When multiplying two expressions with the same base, keep the base and add the exponents (a^m × a^n = a^(m+n)).

    • Quotient Rule: When dividing two expressions with the same base, keep the base and subtract the exponents (a^m ÷ a^n = a^(m-n)).

    • Zero Exponent Rule: Any base raised to the exponent of zero equals one, with the exception of zero itself (a^0 = 1 for a ≠ 0).

    • Power Rule: To raise an exponent to another exponent, keep the base and multiply the exponents ( (a^m)^n = a^(m*n) ).

    • Expanded Power Rule: This involves rewriting the expression in its expanded form, displaying all factors explicitly (a^m = a × a × ... × a, m times).

    • Negative Exponents: If a factor shifts from the numerator to the denominator (or vice versa), the exponent's sign will change, indicating the reciprocal of that factor (a^(-n) = 1/a^n).
