    Study Notes

    Product Law of Exponents

    • When multiplying powers with the same base, add the exponents.
    • Example: ( a^m \times a^n = a^{m+n} )

    Power Law of Exponents

    • Raising a power to another involves multiplying the exponents.
    • Example: ( (a^m)^n = a^{m \times n} )

    Quotient of Powers Property

    • For division of powers with the same base, subtract the exponents.
    • Example: ( \frac{a^m}{a^n} = a^{m-n} )

    Power of a Quotient Property

    • To calculate the power of a quotient, distribute the exponent to both the numerator and denominator.
    • Example: ( \left(\frac{a}{b}\right)^n = \frac{a^n}{b^n} )

    Fractional Exponents

    • Exponents expressed as fractions can be rewritten using radicals.
    • The denominator of the fraction becomes the index of the radical, while the numerator becomes the power inside the radical.
    • Example: ( a^{\frac{m}{n}} = \sqrt[n]{a^m} )

    Negative Exponents

    • A base raised to a negative exponent is equivalent to one divided by the base raised to the positive exponent.
    • Example: ( a^{-n} = \frac{1}{a^n} )
