This week in Math 10 we learned exponents. The exponent laws, integral exponents, and rational exponents. I found the exponent laws the easiest to understand

Multiplication Law

• What you do to simplify is take the exponents and add them while keeping the base the same

Division Law

• What you do to simplify is take the exponents and subtract them while keeping the base the same

Power of a Power Law

• What you do to simplify is take the exponents and multiply them while keeping the base the same

Zero Exponent Law

• Anytime there is something to the power of 0 it is equal to 1
