Product of Powers Property
•To multiply powers (exponents) with the same base, add their exponents.
a³ x a²= a3 + 2 = a5
25
23=
2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2
2 x 2 x 2= 22

Quotient of Powers Property
•To divide powers with the same base, subtract the exponent of the denominator from the exponent of the numerator.
68 = 68-5 =63
65
REVIEW
•When multiplying- add the exponents
•When dividing- subtract the exponents.

Zero Exponents•For any nonzero number a, a0 = 1
•Anything to the zero power equals 1 (except zero)
40 =1000 = 1

Negative Exponents
•For any nonzero number a and any integer n,
a-n = 1/an
5-2 = 152
