Exponent Rules Simple

The power of a power rule says that when an exponential expression is raised to a power (as shown above), you should _________ the inner and outer exponents

• add

• subtract

• multiply

• divide

Simplify and leave in exponent form
                            8²/8⁵

• 8³

• 8^2-5 = 8^-3 = 1/8³

• 8^-3

• 8⁷

Simplify to an equivalent expression BUT leave in exponent form.
                                   4³⋅4⁵

• 4⁸

• 16⁸

• 4¹⁵

• 16¹⁵

Simplify         m¹²/ m³

• m^12-3  = m⁹

• m^12/3  = m⁴

• m^-9

• -m⁹

  simplify    7^-2

• 1/7² = 1/49

• -49

• -14

• 1/14

x⁻⁶

• 1 ⁄ x⁶

• x⁶

• -x⁶

• -1 ⁄ x⁶

Simplify the following expression:

(xyz)⁰ =

• 0

• 1

• xyz

• -1

How would you change this to a positive exponent:
1/x^-3

• 1/x³

• x³

• 3x

• 1/3x

-3xy³ . (4xy)²

• -12x³y⁵

• -48x²y⁴

• -48x³y⁵

• -12x²y⁶
