Exponent Rules 1.1-1.3

Simplify
(x²)³

• x³
• x⁵
• x⁶
• x⁴

Simplify

• y²
• y³⁵
• y¹²
• y¹⁴

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

• add
• subtract
• multiply
• divide

Rewrite using a positive exponent.
w^-13

• -w¹³
• ¹/_w¹³
• ¹/_w^-13
• w¹³

Simplify (-4x)⁰

• -4x
• -4
• 1
• -1

Evaluate using the quotient rule: 

• a⁸b¹³
• a²b⁷
• a¹⁵b³⁰

According to exponent rules, when we multiply two powers with the same base we _______ the exponents.

Example: c⁶ ⋅ c⁴

• add

• subtract

• multiply

• divide

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

• 0

• 1

• itself

• negative

• 2

• 7

• 128

Our second rule says that when a power is raised to a power, you should _________ the inner and outer exponents.

• add

• subtract

• multiply

• divide
