What is an exponent?

Back

An exponent is a number that indicates how many times to multiply the base by itself. For example, in 2^3, 2 is the base and 3 is the exponent.

Front

What does the expression a^n represent?

Back

The expression a^n represents 'a' raised to the power of 'n', meaning 'a' is multiplied by itself 'n' times.

Front

How do you simplify the expression (x^m * x^n)?

Back

You simplify it by adding the exponents: x^(m+n).

Front

What is the result of 5^0?

Back

Any non-zero number raised to the power of 0 is 1, so 5^0 = 1.

Front

What is the product of powers property?

Back

The product of powers property states that when multiplying two powers with the same base, you add the exponents: a^m * a^n = a^(m+n).
