Exponent Rules Practice Cheat Sheet
- Product Rule - When multiplying like bases, add the exponents and let the math do the heavy lifting! For example, 3² × 3³ = 3^(2+3) = 3❵, turning big multiplications into simple addition. Symbolab Study Guide
- Quotient Rule - Dividing expressions with the same base? Just subtract the exponents like you're making change in your head. For instance, 5❷ ÷ 5³ = 5^(7−3) = 5❴, no calculators required! Symbolab Study Guide
- Power of a Power Rule - When you raise a power to another power, you multiply the exponents and watch the exponent explosion happen. For example, (2³)❴ = 2^(3×4) = 2¹², bundling two steps into one neat package. Symbolab Study Guide
- Power of a Product Rule - Raising a product to a power means distributing that exponent to each factor, like giving everyone a slice of the pie. So (2×3)❴ = 2❴ × 3❴, turning a big chunk into manageable bites. Symbolab Study Guide
- Power of a Quotient Rule - Apply the exponent to both the top and bottom when you raise a fraction to a power, keeping everything balanced. For instance, (2/3)³ = 2³/3³, slashing complexity in half. Symbolab Study Guide
- Zero Exponent Rule - Any non-zero base to the zero power equals one - like hitting the reset button on your expression. For example, 7❰ = 1, which is always a win on quizzes. Symbolab Study Guide
- Negative Exponent Rule - A negative exponent flips the base into its reciprocal, turning confusion into clarity. So 2❻³ = 1/2³ = 1/8, smooth and straightforward. Symbolab Study Guide
- Fractional Exponents - Fractions in exponents signal roots: a^(m/n) = ❿√(aᵝ). For instance, 8^(2/3) = ³√(8²) = ³√64 = 4, making radicals feel like old friends. He Loves Math Guide
- Combining Exponent Rules - Mix and match rules to tame even the most tangled expressions. For example, ((2³)❴)/(2❵) = 2^(3×4−5) = 2❷, a one‑two punch of multiplication and subtraction. Greene Math Lesson
- Practice Problems - The secret sauce to mastery is repetition - tackle a variety of examples to lock in these rules. Try simplifying (x²×x³)❴ or (y❵)/(y²) and watch your confidence soar! Tutorela Exercises
