Exponent Rules

Whenever we divide bases with exponents and the bases are the same, we _________ the exponents.

• Add

• Subtract

• Multiply

• Divide

Whenever we multiply numbers that are the same base with exponents, we __________ them.

• Subtract

• Multiply

• Add

• Divide

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

Anything raised to the power of zero is always: 

• 0

• 1

• itself

• negative

Anything raised to a power of zero is always:

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