  1. 1. (b) exponent — The raised number is the exponent (power).
  2. 2. (a) 2⁵ — Same base: add exponents, 2³⁺² = 2⁵.
  3. 3. (c) 1 — Any non-zero number to the power 0 is 1.
  4. 4. (b) 1/9 — 3⁻² = 1/3² = 1/9.
  5. 5. For the same base, aᵐ × aⁿ = aᵐ⁺ⁿ.
  6. 6. a⁻ⁿ is the reciprocal of aⁿ, i.e. a⁻ⁿ = 1 ÷ aⁿ.
  7. 7. Product: aᵐ × aⁿ = aᵐ⁺ⁿ (2² × 2³ = 2⁵). Quotient: aᵐ ÷ aⁿ = aᵐ⁻ⁿ (5⁴ ÷ 5² = 5²). Power of a power: (aᵐ)ⁿ = aᵐⁿ ((3²)² = 3⁴). Power of a product: aᵐ × bᵐ = (ab)ᵐ (2³ × 5³ = 10³). Each rule lets us simplify without fully expanding.
