What is the product of powers rule in exponents?

Back

When multiplying two expressions with the same base, add the exponents: a^m * a^n = a^(m+n).

What is the power of a power rule in exponents?

Back

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

Front

What is the power of a product rule in exponents?

Back

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

What is the power of a quotient rule in exponents?

Back

When raising a quotient to a power, apply the exponent to both the numerator and denominator: (a/b)^n = a^n / b^n.
