Exponent Rules

If a number or variable does not have an exponent, we can assume the exponent is:

• 0

• 1

The product rule says that when you are multiplying two exponents with the same base, you keep the base and ________ the exponents

• Add

• Subtract

• Multiply

• Divide

The quotient rule says that when you are dividing two exponents with the same base, you keep the base and __________ the exponents.

• Add

• Subract

• Multiply

• Divide

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
