    This document summarizes rules for exponents: 1) An exponent of 0 equals 1. An exponent of 1 equals the base. 2) When multiplying the same bases, add the exponents. When dividing the same bases, subtract the exponents. 3) Raising an exponent to a power multiplies the exponents. Raising a product or quotient to an exponent distributes the exponent. 4) Fractional exponents indicate roots of the base.

    Law of Exponents

    Description Rule
    Exponent of o x0 = 1

    Exponent of 1 x1 = x

    Product of same bases 𝑥 2 ⋅ 𝑥 3 = 𝑥 2+3 = 𝑥 5

    Quotient of same bases 𝑥7


    = 𝑥 7−5 = 𝑥 2
    𝑥5
    Negative exponents 𝑥 −2
    1
    = 2
    𝑥

    Exponent to power of 𝑥2 3 = 𝑥 2×3 = 𝑥 6


    exponent
    Product to an exponent 2𝑥 2 𝑦 3
    = 8𝑥 6 𝑦 3

    𝑥
    Quotient to an exponent 1 1𝑥
    = 𝑥
    2 2
    𝑎
    Fractional exponents 𝑏
    𝑥𝑎 = 𝑥𝑏
