Exponents save you time from writing out lots of multiples. The rules of exponents allow us to manipulate equations and scientific notation. The laws are:
Law Example
x1 = x 61 = 6 x0 = 1 70 = 1 x-1 = 1/x 4-1 = 1/41/ x-1 = x 1/8-1 =8 xmxn = xm+n x2x3 = x2+3 = x5 xm/xn = xm-n x4/x2 = x4-2 = x2 (xm)n = xmn (x2)3 = x2×3 = x6 (xy)n = xnyn (xy)3 = x3y3 (x/y)n = xn/yn (x/y)2 = x2 / y2 x-n = 1/xn x-3 = 1/x3
