Powers

 

Multiplication of Powers with the same base, add exponents

 

Division of powers with the same base, subtract the exponents

 

Power of a power, it’s the same base and multiplied the exponents

 

If the exponent is 0, the result is 1

 

Negative base and odd exponent, the result is negative

 

Negative base and exponent couple, the result is positive

 

Negative exponent, exchange dividend and divisor

 

if the exponent is a fraction, it turns into a root of grade the divisor and the exponent will be the dividend

 

When the exponent is a negative fraction:

First exchange dividend and divisor.

Second it turns into a root of index the divisor and the exponent will be the dividend

 

To solve Equations with fractions, try to convert everything on the same base.

In case of fractions it is possible to change the sign of the exponent exchanging dividend and divisor in order to have the same base.
