  1. RULES FOR SIMPLIFING EXPONENTIAL EXPRESSIONS

  2. WHEN MULTIPLYING LIKE BASES, YOU ADD THE EXPONENTS FOR EXAMPLE: NOW YOU TRY:

  3. WHEN RAISING A POWER TO A POWER, YOU MULTIPLY THE EXPONENTS FOR EXAMPLE: NOW YOU TRY:

  4. ANY INTEGER RAISED TO NEGATIVE ONE IS THE RECIPROCAL OF THAT INTEGER. FOR EXAMPLE: NOW YOU TRY:

  5. Any fraction raised to negative one is the reciprocal of that fraction. FOR EXAMPLE: NOW YOU TRY:

  6. WHEN DIVIDING LIKE BASES, YOU SUBTRACT THE EXPONENTS. FOR EXAMPLE: NOW YOU TRY:

  7. ANY NUMBER RAISED TO THE FIRST POWER IS ITSELF. FOR EXAMPLE: NOW YOU TRY:

  8. ANY NUMBER RAISED TO THE ZERO POWER IS ONE. FOR EXAMPLE: NOW YOU TRY:

  9. HOW DO WE GET ANY NUMBER RAISED TO THE ZERO POWER EQUAL TO ONE? can be written as Working backward-you subtract the exponents when you are dividing like bases. Then any number divided by itself will give you ONE!!!
