Mastering the Rules of Exponents

This video tutorial covers the rules of exponents, including multiplying and dividing expressions with the same base, handling expressions with the same exponent but different bases, understanding the zero exponent property, and applying the power to a power rule. The lesson includes examples and practice problems to reinforce these concepts.

What happens to the exponents when you multiply expressions with the same base?

• You subtract the exponents

• You add the exponents

• You divide the exponents

• You multiply the exponents

When dividing expressions with the same base, what operation do you perform on the exponents?

• Addition

• Multiplication

• Division

• Subtraction

If you have different bases but the same exponent and you're multiplying, what do you do with the bases?

• Divide them

• Multiply them

• Subtract them

• Add them

For division with different bases but the same exponent, how do you handle the bases?

• Multiply them

• Divide them

• Add them

• Subtract them

What is the result of any number raised to the zero power?

• 0

• The base

• The exponent

• 1

In a power to a power situation, what operation do you perform on the exponents?
