1.- b^m b^n = b^(n+m) In the product with equal bases the exponents are added. 2 .- (b ^ m) ^ n = b ^ (n m) A base with double exponent; the exponents multiply. 3 .- (ab) ^ n = a ^ n * b ^ n A product raised to an exponent; each factor is raised to that exponent. 4 .- (b ^ n) / (b ^ m) = b ^ (n-m) In the quotient with equal bases the exponents are subtracted 5.- (a / b) ^ n = (a ^ n) / (b ^ n) A ratio raised to an exponent; each term is raised to that exponent. 6.- (a / b) ^ - n = (b / a) ^ n A quotient with a negative exponent is the reciprocal of the positive quotient
