1
Q
Product rule
A
a^(m) * a^(n) = a^(m+n)
If they’re multiplied, add
2
Q
Quotient Rule
A
a^(m) / a^(n) = a^(m-n)
If they’re divided, subtract
3
Q
Power of a power rule
A
(a^m)^n = a^(mn)
when raising a power to another power, you multiply the exponents together, while keeping the base the same
4
Q

A
a^(-m) = 1/a^(m)
5
