What is the product of powers property?

Back

When multiplying two powers with the same base, you add the exponents. For example, a^m * a^n = a^(m+n).

What is the power of a power property?

Back

When raising a power to another power, you multiply the exponents. For example, (a^m)^n = a^(m*n).

What is the power of a product property?

Back

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

Front

What is the quotient of powers property?

Back

When dividing two powers with the same base, you subtract the exponents. For example, a^m / a^n = a^(m-n).

What is a polynomial?

Back

A polynomial is a mathematical expression that consists of variables, coefficients, and non-negative integer exponents. For example, 3x^2 + 2x + 1 is a polynomial.
