4: Exponential and Logarithmic Functions Flashcards
1
Q
What is the law of exponent in multiplication?
am x an =
A
Multiplication = Addition
am x an = am+n
2
Q
What is the law of expontent in division?
am / an =
A
Divison = Subtraction
am / an = am-n
3
Q
What is the law of exponent when raising to a power?
(am)n =
A
Raising to a power = Multiplication
(am)n = am x n
4
Q
What is the law of exponent when the power zero?
a0 =
A
Any base raised to the power of zero is equal to 1.
a0 = 1
5
Q
What is the law of exponent in fractional exponents?
n√am =
A
( n√a)m = (am) 1/n = a m/n
6
Q
What is the exponential law for negative expontents?
a-n =
A
= 1 / an
