| Product rule: |
When multiplying like bases,
keep the base and add the exponents. |
| |
AmAn = Am+n |
| |
Examples: |
X 7 X 5 = X 7+5 = X
12 |
X -3 X 6 = X -3+6 =
X 3 |
| Quotient Rule: |
When diiding like bases, keep
the base and subtract the denominator exponent from the
numerator exponent.  |
| |
Examples: |
 |
 |
| Power Rule: |
When raising a power to a
power, keep the base and multiply the power. |
| |
(A m) n = A mn |
Example: |
(X 2) 3 = X 2*3 = X
6 |
| |
(AB) m = A mB m |
|
(X 2Y 3) 4 = X
2*4Y 3*4 =X 8Y 12 |

| Zero Exponents: |
Any number (except zero)
raised to the zero power is equal to 1. |
