The Properties

1. Multiplying like bases.
• Add the exponents.
• aⁿ • a^m = a^n+m
2. Power of a power.
• Multiply the exponents.
• (aⁿ)^m = a^nm
3. Power of a product.
• Raise each part of the product to the power.
• (ab)ⁿ = aⁿ bⁿ
4. Negative exponent property.
• To make the negative exponent positive, move the base and its exponent to the opposite location in the fraction.
• and
5. Zero exponent property.
• Any base raised to the zero power equals one.
• aº = 1
