Chapter 12.3

Exponents: Power rule: (a^x)^y = a^(xy)


What You'll Learn

Apply the power rule to multiply exponents when raising a power to another power
Recognize that (a^x)^y equals a^(x*y) by expanding and counting base factors
Simplify expressions with multiple bases and exponents using the power rule
Distribute outer exponents to all components in fractions and products

What You'll Practice

1

Proving the power rule by expanding expressions and counting factors

2

Applying the power rule to expressions with multiple variables and exponents

3

Simplifying complex fractions with exponents raised to powers

4

Working with negative and positive exponents in power rule problems

Why This Matters

The power rule is essential for simplifying complex expressions throughout algebra, calculus, and beyond. You'll use this property constantly when working with polynomials, exponential functions, scientific notation, and advanced math courses.
