PRODUCT WITH THE SAME BASE

multiplying like bases, keep the base

When
the same and simply add the exponent.
Example;

1.
2.
3.

=
=
=

QOUTIENT WITH THE SAME BASE

When
dividing like bases, keep the base the same

and subtract the denominator exponent from the

numerator exponent.
Example;

1.
2.

=
= =

 QOUTIENT TO POWER

raising a fraction to a power, distribute the power

When
to each factor in the numerator and denominator of the
fraction.
Example;

1. (
2. ( =

 NEGATIVE POWER

exponent signify division. In particular

Negative
find the reciprocal of the base.

When the is raised to a negative power, reciprocate find the

reciprocal of the base, keep the exponent with the original
base and drop the negative.

Example;

1.
2.
3.

=
=
=

Qoutient with the negative power

POWER OF POWER

raising a base with a power to another

When

power, keep the base the same and multiply the

exponents.
Example;

1. ( =
2. ( =

PRODUCT OF POWER

raising a product to a power,

When

distribute the power to each factor.

Example;

1. (xy =
2. (5x =
3. (3xy =

ZERO POWER

raised to zero the answer

Anything
should be one.
Example;

1. = 1
2. 5=1
3. (= 1
