Exponents one and zero: \(a^0=1\) Any nonzero number to the power of 0 is 1. For example: \(5^0=1\) and \((-3)^0=1\) • Note: the case of 0^0 is not tested on the GMAT.
\(a^1=a\) Any number to the power 1 is itself.
Powers of zero: If the exponent is positive, the power of zero is zero: \(0^n = 0\), where \(n > 0\).
If the exponent is negative, the power of zero (\(0^n\), where \(n < 0\)) is undefined, because division by zero is implied.
Powers of one: \(1^n=1\) The integer powers of one are one.
Negative powers: \(a^{-n}=\frac{1}{a^n}\)
Powers of minus one: If n is an even integer, then \((-1)^n=1\).
If n is an odd integer, then \((-1)^n =-1\).
Operations involving the same exponents: Keep the exponent, multiply or divide the bases \(a^n*b^n=(ab)^n\)
\(\frac{a^n}{b^n}=(\frac{a}{b})^n\)
\((a^m)^n=a^{mn}\)
\(a^m^n=a^{(m^n)}\) and not \((a^m)^n\)
Operations involving the same bases: Keep the base, add or subtract the exponent (add for multiplication, subtract for division) \(a^n*a^m=a^{n+m}\)
\(\frac{a^n}{a^m}=a^{n-m}\)
Fraction as power: \(a^{\frac{1}{n}}=\sqrt[n]{a}\)
