Exponent Rules

By: Trinity, Alexandra, & Chloe


Zero exponents
Any base other than zero raised to the power of zero equals one.

X^0=1 42^0=1 1469^0=1

(X^2 Y^4 Z^3)^0=1 (2^2)(X^0)(6^2)=

(4)(1)(36)=144

Trinity Reising
Negative exponents
Ashen faced with negative exponents, move only what the negative touches across
the fraction bar. Then simplify or combine like terms if possible. Then subtract
exponents if like bases are on both sides of the fraction bar.
11^-2 = 1/11^2 = 1/121 y^-6/x^-2 = x^2/y^6

(xy)^-2/(w)^2(xy)^-3 = w^-3/w^-4 (yw)^2=


x^-2 y^-2/w^2 x^-3 y^-3= w^4/w^3(yw)^2=
x^3 y^3/w^2 x^2 y^2= w^4/w^3 y^2 w^2=
xy/w^2 w^4/w^5 y^2=
1/w^2 y^2

Trinity Reising
Quotient rule
● If there’s different number bases multiply them by the exponent
● Divide the two numbers
● If the bases are the same, you keep the base and subtract exponents
Examples:
6^4/2^3 X^8/X^5
6^4 = 1296 ^8 - ^5 = ^3
2^3 = 8 X^3
1296/8
=162

Alexandra Tyndall
Product rule
● When bases are the same, leave the base and add the exponents
● When a number without a variable, multiply the number to the exponent first, then
multiply the two numbers
● If they’re different bases just multiply numbers and add exponents
Examples:
3x^2 x 7x^5 4^6 x 4^3 5 x 8^2
3x x 7x = 21x 4 (^6 + ^3) 8^2 = 64
^2 + ^5 = 7 = 4^9 5 x 64
= 21x^7 = 320
