Exponents (Grade 12 NSC Matric Mathematics): Flashcards

Number that gets multiplied repeatedly

Shows how many times to multiply the base by itself

$a^{(m+n)}$

$a^{(m-n)}$

$a^{(m×n)}$

$a^n × b^n$

$1$ (where $a ≠ 0$)

$\frac{1}{a^n}$ (where $a ≠ 0$)

$\sqrt[n]{a^m}$ or $(\sqrt[n]{a})^m$

Cannot be done: $(a+b)^m ≠ a^m + b^m$
