Exponent Rules!

Front

What is the value of anything raised to the zero power (except zero)?

Back

1, one

Front

What is the product of two powers with the same base?

Back

Add the exponents: a^m * a^n = a^(m+n)

Front

What is the quotient of two powers with the same base?

Back

Subtract the exponents: a^m / a^n = a^(m-n)

Front

What is a power raised to another power?

Back

Multiply the exponents: (a^m)^n = a^(m*n)

Front

What is the value of a negative exponent?

Back

a^(-n) = 1/(a^n) for a ≠ 0

Front

What is the value of one raised to any power?

Back

1, one

Front

What is the value of zero raised to any positive power?

Back

0

Front

What is the value of zero raised to the zero power?

Back

Undefined

Front

What is the product of a power and a coefficient?

Back

Multiply the coefficient by the power: c * a^n = c * a^n

Front

What happens when you raise a product to a power?

Back

Distribute the exponent: (ab)^n = a^n * b^n
