Laws Of Exponents

The laws of exponents are a set of rules that define how exponents behave in algebraic expressions.
These laws are useful for simplifying and manipulating expressions involving powers, roots, and scientific
notation.

Here are the laws of exponents:

1. The product of powers with the same base is found by adding the exponents: a^m * a^n =
a^(m+n). For example: (2^3) * (2^4) = 2^7 = 128.

2. The quotient of powers with the same base is found by subtracting the exponents: a^m / a^n =
a^(m-n). For example: (2^6) / (2^3) = 2^3 = 8.

3. To raise a power to a power, multiply the exponents: (a^m)^n = a^(mn). For example: (2^3)^2 =
2^(32) = 2^6 = 64.

4. The power of a product is found by raising each factor to the power: (ab)^n = a^n * b^n. For
example: (23)^2 = 2^2 * 3^2 = 4 * 9 = 36.

5. The power of a quotient is found by raising the numerator and denominator to the power:
(a/b)^n = a^n / b^n. For example: (6/2)^3 = 6^3 / 2^3 = 216 / 8 = 27.

6. The power of an exponent is found by multiplying the bases and adding the exponents: (a^m)^n
= a^(mn). For example: (2^3)^4 = 2^(34) = 2^12 = 4096.

7. The power of a root is found by dividing the exponent by the root index: a^(1/n) = n√a. For
example: 2^(1/3) = 3√2.

It's important to note that these laws only apply to exponents with the same base. For example, the
laws of exponents do not apply to expressions like (2^3)^(4/3).
