Exponent Product and Power to a Power Rule

Simplify the expression.

• 7⁶

• 7^-5

• 1/7⁵

• 7⁵

Simplify the expression:

(-2) ⋅ (-2)² ⋅ (-2)³

• -2⁵

• 2⁶

• (-2)⁷

• -2⁶

Rewrite the expression as a power.
 (2⁴)(2⁵)

• 2²⁰

• 4⁹

• 4²⁰

• 2⁹

If a number or variable does not have an exponent, we can assume the exponent is:

• 0

• 1

• 4³
• 4¹⁵
• 1³
• 1¹⁵

According to exponent rules, when we divide two powers with the same base we _______ the exponents.

Example: 6⁸ / 6³

• add

• subtract

• multiply

• divide

When a power is raised to a power, you _____ the exponents.

• multiply

• subtract

• divide

• add

(a^m)ⁿ = a^mn, This rule says that to raise a power to a power you need to multiply the exponents.

• Product Rule

• Quotient rule

• Power of a Power Rule

• Negative Exponent Rule

• Zero exponent Rule

Billy was asked to solve 3⁵∙3⁴. He got 9²⁰. What error did he make?

• When he multiplies exponents, he is supposed to add the base and the exponent

• When he multiplies exponents, he is supposed to multiply the base and keep the exponents

• When he multiplies exponents, he is supposed to keep the base and add the exponents if the base is the same

• None of the above

Any base to the 0 power is equal to....

• 0

• the base

• 1

• x
