Exponents!

  1. b^x * b^y = b^ x + y

  1. b^x / b^y = b^ x-y

  1. any number raised to the 0 = 1

  1. (ab)^x = a^x b^x

  1. (a/b)^x = a^x/b^x

  1. (b^x) ^y = b^xy

  1. nth root of a = a^1/n

  1. nth root of a^y = a^y/n

  1. x^-n = 1/x^n

  1. a * b^x = cant simplify

  1. (-a)^2 = positive number

  1. -a^2 = negative number

    _______________________________________________

    Ex.1: (-4)^-2

    1/16

    Ex.2: ((x^-2)^-1)^0

    The answer will be 0 because everything is raised to 0
