Rules of Exponents

Anything raised to a power of zero is always: 

• 0
• 1
• itself
• negative

According to exponent rules, when we raise the power to a power we _______ the exponents.
Example: (d²)⁵

• add
• subtract
• multiply
• divide

According to exponent rules, when we multiply two power with the same base we _______ the exponents.
Example: c⁶ ⋅ c⁴

• add
• subtract
• multiply
• divide

According to exponent rules, when we divide two powers with the same base we _______ the exponents.
Example: h⁸ / h³

• add
• subtract
• multiply
• divide
