What Is Laws Of Exponent

Laws of Exponents

Rule 1: To multiply identical bases, add the exponents.

a^m x a^n = a^(m+n)

Rule 2: To divide identical bases, subtract the exponents.

a^m / a^n = a^(m-n)

Rule 3: When there are two or more exponents and only one base, multiply the exponents.

(a^m )^n = a^(mn)

Rule  4

Negative exponent

a^-m = 1/a^m
