Study Notes

Exponent Rules

Product Rule: In multiplication involving the same bases, retain the base and add the exponents.
Quotient Rule: In division with the same bases, keep the base and subtract the smaller exponent from the larger one.
Power Rule: When a power is raised to another power, maintain the base and multiply the exponents.
Group of Factors: Apply the power rule to each individual factor within a group.

Specific Power Rules

Power Rule for Quotients: When applying the power rule to fractions, it must be applied to both the numerator and denominator.
Negative Exponents: Indicates the use of the reciprocal; for example, a^-n = 1/a^n.

Fundamental Concepts

Factoring: Involves breaking down numbers into factors that, when multiplied together, produce the original number.
Radicals: Represent expressions involving roots such as square roots and cube roots.
Perfect Square: A number created by squaring an integer, e.g., 1, 4, 9.
Difference of Squares: Characterized by two squared terms separated by a subtraction, e.g., a^2 - b^2.
