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} )
