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
