Rules of Exponents Let the Game Begin… Notebook pg4
Exponent/ Power Base an Days Successful Make All an = an-x ax an * ax an+x Pretty Please (*) (an)x = an*x
Make All an * ax an+x
When Multiplying bases that are the same, ADD the exponents m3*m8 = m3+8 m11 2w*3w2 = 2(3)w1+2 6w3
Days Successful an = an-x ax
When Dividing bases that are the same, SUBTRACT the exponents
Pretty Please (*) (an)x = an*x
Power to a Power MULTIPLY(*) Powers (2y3w2)5 = 21*5 y3*5 w2*5 25y15w10 (y3)4 = y3*4 y12
Exponent/ Power Base an
a0 = 1 Anything (except 0) To the zero power equals One. a-n (move It!) 1 an Make all exponents positive by changing the base and exponent’s location.
If outside power is NEGATIVE, FLIP inside, change outside power to a POSITIVE, then MULTIPLY powers.
