Exponent Rules

Anything raised to a power of zero is always: 

• 0
• 1
• itself
• negative

 $y^0=$  

• y

• 0

• 1

• 10

The product rule says that when you are multiplying two exponents with the same base, you keep the base and ________ the exponents

• Add

• Subtract

• Multiply

• Divide

 $x^3\cdot x^4\ =$  

•  $x^{12\ }$  

•  $x^{-1}$  

•  $x^7$  

•  $x^{34}$  

The quotient rule says that when you are dividing two exponents with the same base, you keep the base and __________ the exponents.

• Add

• Subract

• Multiply

• Divide

 $\frac{x^9}{x^4}$  =

•  $x^{13}$  

•  $x^{36}$  

•  $x^5$  

•  $x^{-5}$  

 $\left(x^5\right)^4$  

The power of a power rule says that when an exponential expression is raised to a power (as shown above), you should _________ the inner and outer exponents

• add

• subtract

• multiply

• divide

 $\left(x^7\right)^2$  =

•  $x^{14}$  

•  $x^9$  

•  $x^5$  

•  $2x^7$  

• -30x¹¹
• -30x¹⁸
• -x¹¹
• -x¹⁸
