Simplifying Exponential Expressions

Anything raised to a power of zero is always: 

• 0
• 1
• itself
• negative

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

• add
• subtract
• multiply
• divide

According to exponent rules, when we multiply exponential expressions we _______ the exponents.

• add
• subtract
• multiply
• divide

According to exponent rules, when we divide the expressions we _______ the exponents.

• add
• subtract
• multiply
• divide
