Welcome to the World of Exponents
Exponents are a way to represent repeated multiplication of a number by itself. They are an essential concept in algebra and are widely used in various mathematical operations.
Basic Rules of Exponents:
- Product of Powers: \(a^m \times a^n = a^{m+n}\)
- Quotient of Powers: \(a^m ÷ a^n = a^{m-n}\)
- Power of a Power: \((a^m)^n = a^{m \times n}\)
- Power of a Product: \((ab)^n = a^n \times b^n\)
- Power of a Quotient: \((\frac{a}{b})^n = \frac{a^n}{b^n}\)
