Welcome to the World of Exponents!
Exponents are a fundamental part of algebra, representing repeated multiplication of a number by itself. For example, \(2^3 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 = 8\).
In this tutorial, we will explore key exponent rules and properties, including:
- Product of Powers: \(a^m \cdot a^n = a^{m+n}\)
- Quotient of Powers: \(\frac{a^m}{a^n} = a^{m-n}\)
- Power of a Power: \((a^m)^n = a^{m \cdot n}\)
- Zero Exponent: \(a^0 = 1\) (where \(a \neq 0\))
