What to Focus On

  • aᵐ means 'a' multiplied by itself 'm' times
  • Base is the number being multiplied
  • Exponent shows how many times to multiply

  • Same base: add exponents when multiplying, subtract when dividing
  • Power of a power: multiply the exponents
  • Any non-zero number to power 0 equals 1

  • a^(1/n) means the nth root of a
  • a^(p/q) means the qth root of a to the power p
  • All laws of exponents apply to rational exponents

Common Mistakes to Avoid

When multiplying powers with the same base, you multiply the exponents instead of adding them

a^0 = 0 because anything multiplied by zero is zero

Negative exponents make the entire result negative

Memory Tips

Exponential notation definition (a^m means 'a' multiplied 'm' times)

Law 1: a^m × a^n = a^(m+n)

Zero exponent rule: a^0 = 1

Negative exponent rule: a^(-m) = 1/a^m
