Exponets Summary Page

Zero exponents equals 1. A number to a negative exponent is the reciprocal of the base to the positive exponent. When multiplying powers with the same base, add the exponents. When dividing powers with the same base, subtract the exponents. When raising a power to another exponent, keep the base and multiply the exponents.
