Exponent Rules
a ³ ← exponent
↑
Base
Base is what repeats, the exponent tells how many times
Multiply
a² * a⁴ = a⁶ add your exponents
Divide
a⁷ ÷ a³ = a⁴ Subtract your exponents
Zero
a⁰ = 1 always equals 1 except 0⁰ undefined
Negative
a⁻⁴ = 1/a⁴ do the reciprocal change to positive
Power
(a²)³ = multiply exponent and power
