The Laws of Exponent - Merjilla_294_Module 6 Activity

5³

#1 Exponential Form : The exponent of a power indicates how many times the base multiplies itself.

​

n factors of x

Example: 5³​ = 5 * 5 * 5

​

#2 Zero Law of Exponents: Any base powered by zero exponent equals one.

​

​Example: x⁰​ = 1

#3 Multiplying Powers: If you re multiplying powers with the same base, keep the base and add the exponents.

​

x^m​ * xⁿ = x^m+n

​Example: x⁵​ * x³ = x⁸

#4 Dividing Powers: When dividing powers with the same base. Keep the base and substract the exponents.

​

x^m ∕ xⁿ = x^m ÷ xⁿ = x^m-n

​Example: x⁵​ ÷ x³ = x²

#5 Power of a Power: If you are raising a Power to an exponent, you multiply the exponent.

​

(x^m)ⁿ = x^mn

​Example: (x⁵​)³ = x¹⁵
