Happy Chinese New Year, in this weeks lesson we reviewed the radical laws! Consisting of the zero exponent law, product law, quotient law, power law and the negative exponent law. These laws play an important role t in simplifying difficult equations with powers.

Zero Exponent Laws:

When a number is to the power of 0, it equals 1. This is because any number to the power of zero is equal to the multiplicative identity, which is 1. Citation – (https://byjus.com/question-answer/why-any-number-power-0-1/)

Product Law:

When multiplying two powers, you add their exponents together but only if they have the same base. (base = x)

Quotient Law:

When dividing two powers, you subtract the exponent of the denominator from the exponent of the numerator.

Power Law:

When a power is raised to another power, you can multiply the exponents together to simplify the equation!

Negative Exponent:

A negative exponent indicates the reciprocal of the base raised to the positive exponent.
