Exponent Rule 1
The Rule: 1x N =_ n
-x

_ Denition: 1 -2 In rule number one for Example 1 7 = 72 exponents you convert 1 _ Example 2 9 = 4 9 -7 _ 1 Example 3 4 = 7 4
-4
it into a fraction and one is always the numerator. After that you put the original problem as the denominator, but make sure that it is a positive fraction.

Exponent Rule 2
The Rule N =1
0

Example 1 5 = 1 Example 2 11 = 1 Example 3 1 = 1

0 0

Denition:
For exponent rule two no matter what if the power is to zero the answer will always be one.

Exponent Rule 3
The Rule: Example 1 7 x 7 = 7 = 7 4 3 4 +3 7 36 15 21 15+ 21 n x n = n = n Example 2 1 x1 =1 = 1 2+1 3 1 Denition: 2 =20 = 20 Example 3 x 20 20 In rule number three for
exponents it says that to multiply two exponents with the same base, then you you keep the base and add the powers.

Exponent Rule 4
The Rule: ( n ) =n4 3 = n12 Denition:
For exponent rule four it show that you have to raise a power to a power you need to multiply the exponents.

4 3

=7 44 11 4 11x4 Example 2 ( 1 ) =1 =1
25 2x5 Example 3 (56) =56 =56 10

Example 1 ( 7 ) = 7

3 2

3 x2

Exponent Rule 5
35 _ The Rule: Example 1 33 = 35-3= 32 11 _ 9 n _ 8 = 8- 2 6 Example 2 10 = 11-10 = 91 n2 n = n 93 9 59 _ Denition: Example 3 1 = 3-1 =592 59 For exponent rule ve it shows that 59
you have to divide two exponents with the same base, and then you keep the base and subtract the powers.

Exponent Rule 6
The Rule 4 x4 y 4 xy _ (_ ) z = z4 Denition:
For exponent rule number six if the power is outside of the parenthesis, it adds on to all the numbers inside of the parenthesis.

3 3 3 n_ nx _ Example 1 ( e ) = x e3

zm _ m11 _ )11 z11 ( Example 2 d = 11 d

1 1 j_ w 1 j_ w Example 3 ( k ) = 1 k
