Exponent Rules


6
Simplify the given expression. Do not leave
negative exponents.
7
Simplify the given expression. Do not leave
negative exponents.

• Clear outside exponents first,
• move the location of the base that has a
  negative exponent
• the base still has an exponent, but now it is
  positive.

8
Simplify the given expression. Do not leave
negative exponents.
9
Simplify the given expression. Do not leave
negative exponents.

• Clear outside exponents first, make sure all
  parenthesis are gone before moving bases.
• The base is only what the exponent touches.

10
Simplify the given expression. Do not leave
negative exponents.
11
Simplify each numerical expression.
Rational exponent, rewrite as radical, the
denominator is the index
Rational exponent, rewrite as radical, the
denominator is the index, the numerator is still
the exponent of the base.
Negative exponent, take the reciprocal of the base
12
Simplify each numerical expression.
13
Simplify each algebraic expression. Do NOT
leave negative exponents.

• When working with rational exponents, the
  denominator of the exponent is the index of the
  radical, and the numerator is still the exponent
  of the base.
• The base is only what the exponent touches.

Simplify each algebraic expression. Do NOT
leave negative exponents.

• If n is a positive integer and m is any integer
  and is a real number, then
• In radical notation
