|
When you multiply terms with the same base, what do you do with their exponents? |
You add them. 2^3 times 2^4 = 2 ^7 |
|
|
When you raise a power to a power what do you do with the exponents? |
You multiply them. (2^3)^4 = 2^12 |
|
|
When you raise a product (multiplication expression) to a power, what do you do with the exponent? |
You have to "give" it to each part of the product. (2^3 3^4)^2 = 2^6 3^8 |
|
|
Anything (except 0) raised to the power of 0 equals what? |
1 |
|
|
When you divide terms with the same base, what do you do with the exponents? |
You subtract them. 2^5 divided by 2^3 equals 2^2. |
|
|
When you raise a quotient (a division problem (fraction)) to a power, what do you do with the exponent? |
You have to "give" the exponent to both the numerator and the denominator. (2^3/3^4)^5 equals 2^15/3^20 |
|
|
What do you do when a term has a negative exponent? |
That term needs to "switch teams" so that its exponent becomes positive. 2^ -3 = 1/2^3 |
