Exponents - Powers and Roots

Fractional and integer exponents laws

Integer Exponents

an am = an + m         (1)

 an / am = an - m         (2)

(an)m = (am)n = an m         (3)

(ab)m = am bm          (4)

(a / b)m = am / bm          (5)

p an ± q an = (p ± q) an   (6)

a-n =  1 / an    (7)

Fractional Exponents

am/n = (am)1/n = (a1/n)m         (8)

p (a)1/n ± q (a)1/n = (p ± q) a1/n  (9)

(a b)1/n = a1/n b1/n  (10)

a1/n / b1/n = (a / b)1/n  (11)

(amx)1/nx = (am)1/n   (12)

(-a)1/2 = i a1/2   (13) where i = imaginary number
