There are many properties of exponents. I will cover those that are easiest to type up and then point you to a link that has some more. The basic properties are: Product of Powers If two monomials with the same base are multiplied together then you add the exponents.

xmxn = xm+n or for example 3435 = 39 Powers of a Power If a power is raised to a power then you multiply the exponents (xm)n = xmn or for example (34)5 = 320 Powers of a Product If a product is raised to a power then you raise each factor to that power. (xmyn)p = xmpxnp or for example (2a2b3)2 = 22(a2)2(b3)2 = 4a4b6 Zero Property of Exponents Anything raised to the zero power equals one. x0 = 1 or for example (anything)0 = 1 The other two basic properties are the Negative Exponent Property and the Division Exponent Property. For more information on those(they are hard to type because of the fractions) and video examples of the other properties go to http://www.squidoo.com/exponents1
