    This document outlines 8 laws of exponents: 1) Exponential form indicates how many times the base is multiplied by itself 2) If bases are the same and operations are multiplication, the exponent is the sum of individual exponents 3) If bases are the same and operations are division, the exponent is the difference of individual exponents 4) If an exponential form is powered by another exponent, the result is the base powered by the product of exponents

    Exponents

    exponent

    power 5 3

    base

    Example: 125  53 means that 53 is the exponential


    form of the number 125.
    The Laws of Exponents:
    #1: Exponential form: The exponent of a power indicates how
    many times the base multiply itself.

    The Laws of Exponents:

    #2: Multiplicative Law of Exponents: If the bases are the same


    And if the operations between the bases is multiplication, then the
    result is the base powered by the sum of individual exponents .

    2  2  2  2  2  2  2  27
    The Laws of Exponents:
    #3: Division Law of Exponents: If the bases are the same
    And if the operations between the bases is division, then the
    result is the base powered by the difference of individual
    exponents .

    The Laws of Exponents:
    #4: Exponential Law of Exponents: If the exponential form
    is powered by another exponent, then the result is the base
    powered by the product of individual exponents.

    The Laws of Exponents:

    #5: Product Law of Exponents: If the product of the bases


    is powered by the same exponent, then the result is a multiplication
    of individual factors of the product, each powered by the given

     xy 
    exponent.

    Proof: 2  3  4  9  36

    The Laws of Exponents:
    #6: Quotient Law of Exponents: If the quotient of the bases
    is powered by the same exponent, then the result is both
    numerator and denominator , each powered by the given
    exponent.

    The Laws of Exponents:
    #7: Negative Law of Exponents: If the base is powered by the
    negative exponent, then the base becomes reciprocal with the
    positive exponent.
