| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Multiplication Law | (x^a)(x^b) = x^{a+b} the exponents when multiplying same bases. |
| Division Law | (x^a) \div (x^b) = x^{a-b} — Subtract the bottom exponent from the top. |
| Power Law | (x^a)^b = x^{ab} — Multiply the exponents when raising a power to a power. |
| Negative Exponent Law | x^{-a} = \frac{1}{x^a} — A negative exponent flips the base to the denominator. |
| Rational Exponent Law | numerator goes inside |
| Power of a Product Law | (xy)^a = x^a y^a— Distribute the exponent to every factor inside. |
