Exponent Rules-Power to a Power, Negative, and zero

(2⁸)²

• 2¹⁶
• 2¹⁰
• 2⁶
• 2⁴

According to exponent rules, when we raise a power to a power we _______ the exponents.

• add
• subtract
• multiply
• divide

(2x³y)⁶

• 2x¹⁸y⁶
• 64x¹⁸y⁶
• 64x³y⁶
• 2x³y⁶

Simplify the following:
(x²y)⁵

• x⁷y⁵
• x²y⁵
• x¹⁰y⁵
• x⁵y⁵

• -64p²⁰/ 49r⁶

• 64p²⁰/ 49r⁶

• -8p²⁰/ 14r⁶

• -64p¹²/ 49r⁵

Anything (other than zero) raised to a power of zero is always:

• 0

• 1

• itself

• negative

Simplify the following expression:

(xyz)⁰ =

• 0

• 1

• xyz

• -1
