Study Notes
Exponent Rules & Practice
-
Product Rule: To multiply when bases are the same, keep the base and add the exponents. Example: x³ * x⁸ = x¹¹
-
Quotient Rule: To divide when bases are the same, keep the base and subtract the exponents. Example: x⁵ / x² = x³
-
Zero Exponent Rule: Any base (except zero) raised to the power of zero equals one. Example: y⁰ = 1, 6⁰ = 1
-
Power Rule: To raise a power to another power, keep the base and multiply the exponents. Example: (x³)⁴ = x¹²
-
Expanded Power Rule: When multiple factors are raised to a power, each factor is raised to that power. Example: (xy)² = x²y²
-
Negative Exponents: If a factor is moved from the numerator to the denominator (or vice versa), the sign of the exponent changes. Example: x⁻³ = 1/x³
-
Caution: An exponent only applies to the factor immediately next to it unless parentheses enclose other factors. Example: (-3)²=9, but -3²=-9
