What is the Power of a Product Property?

Back

When raising a product to a power, apply the exponent to each factor: (ab)^n = a^n * b^n.

What is the Power of a Quotient Property?

Back

When raising a quotient to a power, apply the exponent to both the numerator and denominator: (a/b)^n = a^n / b^n.

What is the Zero Exponent Rule?

Back

Any non-zero base raised to the power of zero equals one: a^0 = 1 (where a ≠ 0).

What is the Negative Exponent Rule?

Back

A negative exponent indicates the reciprocal of the base raised to the opposite positive exponent: a^-n = 1/a^n.
