There are 5 laws:
Product Law:
This is when the same bases are being multiplied
ex. 83 X 82 this is the same as 8x8x8 8x8
when the same bases are being multiplied you just add the exponents so the answer would be 85
Quotient Law:
This is when the same bases are being divided.
ex. 83 divided by 82 in other words 8x8x8 divided by 8x8
when the same bases are being divided you just subtract the exponents so the answer would be 81
Power of product law:
here is an example : (8x3)2 in this problem all you have to do is apply the exponent to each number in side the bracket or multiply the exponent to each exponent inside the brackets, if there is no exponent you assume there is a 1 so you would do 8 1x2 and 3 1x2 and the answer would be 82x32
Power of quotient law:
this is the same as the one above, you basically just multiply the exponent to the numbers inside the brackets.
So if it was (8 divided by 3)4 you would assume there is an exponent 1 for both the numbers and multiply by four. 8 1x4 divided by 31x4 = 84 divided by 34
Power of a power law:
What do you do if there is already an exponent inside the brackets?
ex. (84)5 you would do the same thing. You multiply the exponents!
if you put the question in standard form it is 8x8x8x8 repeated five times
8x8x8x8 8x8x8x8 8x8x8x8 8x8x8x8 8x8x8x8 how many 8s are there? 20
how do you solve in a much simpler way? you do 84x5 and get the 820

What is a positive exponent?
An exponent that is a positive integer. For example, x3 has a positive exponent, while 8-5 does not.
When rewriting an exponential expression with a negative exponent and a positive base to an expression containing only a positive exponent does the sign of the base change?
No.
If the coefficient of the expression ax is in fraction and the exponent is positive the expression will be a polynomial?
Not necessarily. If the exponent is not an integer then it is not a polynomial.

An exponent that is a positive integer. For example, x3 has a positive exponent, while 8-5 does not.
What are the rules for a number with a negative exponent?
A number with a negative exponent should be treated as the reciprocal of that same number with the analogous positive exponent. For example, 42 = 16, but 4-2 = 1/42 = 1/16.
How do you solve negative integral exponents?
A negative exponent is simply the reciprocal of the positive exponent. So simply remove the negative sign and find the reciprocal. Thus, for example, 5-3 = 1/53 = 1/125
What is the integral of power in calculus?
The integral of a power function in calculus is found by adding 1 to the exponent and dividing by the new exponent. For example, the integral of xn is (x(n1))/(n1) C, where C is the constant of integration.
Meanning of positive exponent?
An exponent is the power that a number is raised to. For instance, in the expression 3^2 ("three squared"), 2 is the "exponent" and 3 is the "base." A positive exponent just means that the power is a positive number. For instance, the following expression does not involve a positive exponent: 3^(-2). Horses rule!!!!!
When is the exponent positive?
When the number is very large 1.0 x 10^6 is 1 million.

You evaluate the powers of 10 and a exponent of positive 4.
What is a positive exponent?
An exponent that is a positive integer. For example, x3 has a positive exponent, while 8-5 does not.
What is an integral exponent?
If you have a real number,a, and raise it to a power b we say a^b is a times itself b times. That is to say aaaaaaaa...aaa b times. a is the base and b is the exponent. So if b is an integer,... -3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3... ,then we have an integral exponent. Examples are 2^5 and 2^-3. An example that is NOT an integral exponent is 2^(1/2) since 1/2 is not an integer. Dr. ChuckIt means that the exponent is a whole number, for example 3, 0, or -5.
How do you solve a power?
To solve a power, you raise a base number to an exponent by multiplying the base by itself as many times as indicated by the exponent. For example, (a^n) means you multiply (a) by itself (n) times. If the exponent is zero, the value is 1, and if the exponent is negative, you take the reciprocal of the base raised to the positive exponent. Using these rules, you can simplify and calculate the value of powers efficiently.
