What is the Law of Exponents for dividing powers with the same base?

• When dividing powers with the same base, add the exponents: @@rac{a^m}{a^n} = a^{m+n}@@.

• When dividing powers with the same base, multiply the exponents: @@rac{a^m}{a^n} = a^{m*n}@@.

• When dividing powers with the same base, subtract the exponents: @@rac{a^m}{a^n} = a^{m-n}@@.

• When dividing powers with the same base, raise the base to the power of the difference: @@rac{a^m}{a^n} = a^{m/n}@@.

What is the Law of Exponents for negative exponents?

• A negative exponent indicates the reciprocal: @@a^{-n} = rac{1}{a^n}@@ (where a ≠ 0).

• A negative exponent indicates that the base is negative: @@a^{-n} = -a^n@@.

• A negative exponent indicates that the base is zero: @@a^{-n} = 0@@.

• A negative exponent indicates that the exponent is ignored: @@a^{-n} = a^n@@.

What is the Law of Exponents for multiplying powers with the same base?

• When multiplying powers with the same base, add the exponents: @@a^m imes a^n = a^{m+n}@@.

• When multiplying powers with the same base, subtract the exponents: @@a^m imes a^n = a^{m-n}@@.

• When multiplying powers with the same base, multiply the exponents: @@a^m imes a^n = a^{m imes n}@@.

• When multiplying powers with the same base, the base remains the same: @@a^m imes a^n = a^m + a^n@@.

What is the Law of Exponents for zero exponent?

• Any non-zero base raised to the power of zero equals one: @@a^0 = 1@@ (where a ≠ 0).

• Any non-zero base raised to the power of one equals itself: @@a^1 = a@@.

• Any non-zero base raised to the power of two equals the base squared: @@a^2 = a imes a@@.

• Any non-zero base raised to the power of negative one equals its reciprocal: @@a^{-1} = rac{1}{a}@@.

What is the Law of Exponents for fractional exponents?

• A fractional exponent indicates a root: $$a^{\frac{m}{n}} = \sqrt[n]{a^m}$$.

• A fractional exponent indicates multiplication: $$a^{\frac{m}{n}} = a^m \cdot a^n$$.

• A fractional exponent indicates addition: $$a^{\frac{m}{n}} = a^m + a^n$$.

• A fractional exponent indicates division: $$a^{\frac{m}{n}} = \frac{a^m}{a^n}$$.

What is the Law of Exponents for simplifying expressions with different bases?

• You can combine them using the laws of exponents.

• When bases are the same, you can add their exponents.

• When bases are different, you cannot combine them using the laws of exponents.

• You can multiply the bases and then apply the exponent.
