Laws of Exponents

The document discusses laws of exponents including: 1. The product law of exponents which states that (ab)m = ambm when multiplying terms with the same base and their exponents are added. 2. The power of a power law which states that (am)n = amn when raising a term to another power, the exponents are multiplied. 3. When dividing terms with the same base, the exponents are subtracted. If the exponent in the denominator is larger, the result is a negative exponent.
