Key concepts

  • Summary of Exponent Properties
  • If a , b are real numbers and m , n are rational numbers, then
    • Product Property a m · a n = a m + n
    • Power Property ( a m ) n = a m · n
    • Product to a Power ( a b ) m = a m b m
    • Quotient Property :
      a m a n = a m n , a 0 , m > n
      a m a n = 1 a n m , a 0 , n > m
    • Zero Exponent Definition a 0 = 1 , a 0
    • Quotient to a Power Property ( a b ) m = a m b m , b 0
