Exponential Properties

Introduction

Exponential properties can be used to manipulate equations involving exponential expressions and/or functions. Here are some important exponential properties:

• Negative exponent property: For any number $a$, $a^{-n}={\frac {1}{a^{n}}}$ and ${\frac {1}{a^{-n}}}=a^{n}$.
• Product of like bases: For
