Integer INTEGRAL EXPONENTS

The document discusses laws of exponents. It defines eight laws for manipulating expressions with exponents, such as combining like terms with exponents (x^m * x^n = x^(m+n)) and dividing terms with exponents (x^m / x^n = x^(m-n)). It provides examples of applying each law and a practice problem set for students to simplify expressions using the laws of exponents.
