Properties of exponents


Properties of Exponents:
The following properties are very essential in solving exponents,
1. Property for the product exponents with same base,
am * an = am+n, provided a b
2. Property of exponents with zero superscript,
a0 = 1, provided a 0
3. Property for exponemts in fraction form,
= am * a-n , provided a 0
4. Property for exponents with whole superscript,
(ab)m = am * bm , provided a b
5. Property for exponents with negative superscript,
a-m = provided a 0
6. Property for exponents with common superscript when the terms are in product,
(ambmcm) = (a*b*c)m ,
(am/bm) = ( )m , provided a b
7. Property for exponents with radicals,
= x

(am)n= amn
I hope the above explanation was useful, now let me explain about dividing radicals.
