What is Exponent ?
The number of times a number is multiplied by itself is called the exponent of any number. For any number 'a' and a positive integer n, we define an as
an = a×a×a×a×….×a ( n times )
Here, the a is called the base and n is called the exponent of nth power of a.
Laws of Integral Exponents
First Law : am × an = am+n
Second Law :
am
an
= am-nThird Law : (am)n = amn
Fourth Law : (ab)n = anbn
Fifth Law : a0 = 1
Laws of Rational Exponents
First Law : am × an = am+n
Second Law :
am
an
= am-nThird Law : (am)n = amn
Fourth Law : (ab)n = anbn
Fifth Law : am/n = (n√a)m
Fifth Law : a0 = 1
