EXPONENT RULES & PRACTICE A+ with answer keys

Document Content and Description Below

#simple rule is: To multiply when two bases are the same, write the base and ADD the exponents. Examples: A. B. C. QUOTIENT RULE: To divide when two bases are the same, write the base and SUBTRACT the ... exponents. Examples: A. B. C. ZERO EXPONENT RULE: Any base (except 0) raised to the zero power is equal to one. PRODUCT RULE: To multiply when two bases are the same, write the base and ADD the exponents. · The main things to remember are: Bases must be the same if you want to add or subtract powers. first need the same base . Bases must be multiplication and division problems to add or subtract powers so do not use the rules for problems The exponent rules can be proved easily by expanding the exponential terms. The exponential expression is expanded by writing the base as many times as the power value. The exponent of the form an is written as a × a × a × a × a × .... n times. Further on multiplying we can obtain the final value of the exponent. [Show More]
