Flashcards

Multiplying exponents

When multiplying powers with the same base, add the exponents: x^(m) * x^(n) = x^(m+n).

Power of a power rule

When raising a power to a power, multiply the exponents: (x^(m))^(n) = x^(m*n).

Power of a product

Distribute the exponent to each factor inside the parentheses: (xy)^n = x^n * y^n.

Dividing exponents

When dividing powers with the same base, subtract the exponents: x^(m) / x^(n) = x^(m-n).

Study Notes

Exponent Laws

Product of Powers

  • Law: a^m × a^n = a^(m+n)
  • When multiplying two exponential expressions with the same base, add the exponents

Power of a Power

  • Law: (a^m)^n = a^(mn)
  • When raising an exponential expression to a power, multiply the exponents

Power of a Product

  • Law: (ab)^m = a^m × b^m
  • When raising a product of two bases to a power, raise each base to that power and multiply

Quotient of Powers

  • Law: a^m ÷ a^n = a^(m-n)
  • When dividing two exponential expressions with the same base, subtract the exponents

Zero Exponent

  • Law: a^0 = 1
  • Any base raised to the power of 0 is equal to 1

Negative Exponent

  • Law: a^(-n) = 1/a^n
  • A negative exponent is equivalent to the reciprocal of the positive exponent
