What is the Product of Powers Property?

Back

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

What is the Power of a Product Property?

Back

When raising a product to a power, apply the exponent to each factor: (ab)^n = a^n * b^n.

What is the Zero Exponent Rule?

Back

Any non-zero base raised to the power of zero equals one: a^0 = 1 (where a ≠ 0).

What is the Negative Exponent Rule?

Back

A negative exponent indicates the reciprocal: a^(-n) = 1/(a^n) (where a ≠ 0).

What is the Quotient of Powers Property?

Back

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

What is the Power of a Quotient Property?

Back

When raising a quotient to a power, apply the exponent to both the numerator and denominator: (a/b)^n = a^n / b^n.

What is the definition of an exponent?

Back

An exponent indicates how many times to multiply the base by itself: a^n means a multiplied by itself n times.
