What is the product rule for exponents?

Back

The product rule states that when multiplying two expressions with the same base, you add the exponents. For example, a^m * a^n = a^(m+n).

What is the quotient rule for exponents?

Back

The quotient rule states that when dividing two expressions with the same base, you subtract the exponents. For example, a^m / a^n = a^(m-n).

How do you multiply radical expressions?

Back

To multiply radical expressions, multiply the numbers outside the radicals and the numbers inside the radicals separately. For example, √a * √b = √(a*b).

How do you divide radical expressions?

Back

To divide radical expressions, divide the numbers outside the radicals and the numbers inside the radicals separately. For example, √a / √b = √(a/b).

What is the definition of a rational exponent?

Back

A rational exponent is an exponent that is a fraction. For example, a^(1/n) is equivalent to the nth root of a.
