    EXPONENTS

    (A.K.A. INDICES / POWERS)


    The Laws of Exponents
    # 6 Division Law of Exponents
    If the bases are the same and the operation between the
    bases is division, then the result is the base powered by the
    difference of individual exponents
    The Laws of Exponents

    Notice what occurs when you divide powers with the same base
    The Laws of Exponents
    # 6 Division Law of Exponents
    If the quotient of the bases is powered by the same
    exponent, then the result is both the numerator and
    denominator, each powered by the given exponent.
    APPLY THE EXPONENT TO EACH VARIABLE THEN SOLVE.
    The Laws of Exponents
    # 7 Negative Law of Exponents
    If the base is powered by a negative exponent, then the
    base becomes reciprocal with the exponent.

    *All negative exponents can be expressed as their


    positive reciprocal (a fraction where the numerator and
    9
    denominator switch places).
    Examples:

    x z z
    x = 1 1
    y
    = z
    x -2
    x 2
    x -3 =x 3
