    Study Notes

    Quotient of Powers

    • The quotient of powers refers to a mathematical rule for dividing two powers with the same base.
    • To apply the quotient of powers, subtract the exponents of the two powers.

    Product of Powers

    • The product of powers is a rule used when multiplying terms with the same base.
    • This rule states to add the exponents of the two terms to determine the result.

    Power of a Power

    • An exponent indicates how many times the base is multiplied by itself.
    • The base is the value being multiplied, while the exponent signifies the repetition of the multiplication process.
    • Raising a number to a power means using an exponent.

    Power of a Product

    • To calculate a power of a product, find the power for each individual factor and multiply the results.
    • The general formula for this is (ab)m = am · bm, highlighting the distributive nature of exponents over multiplication.

    Power of a Quotient

    • The power of a quotient rule allows for simplification of expressions with the same base.
    • It involves dividing the coefficients and subtracting the exponents of like variables.

    Zero Exponent Rule

    • The zero exponent rule simplifies expressions with exponents.
    • When any number or variable is raised to the power of zero, the result is always one, as long as the base is not zero.
