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 , and .
  • Product of like bases: For

Special exponential properties involving 0:

  • For any nonzero number , .
  • For any positive number , .
  • does not exist when n is negative (since ), and is either undefined or indeterminate when (that is, is undefined or indeterminate depending on the context).
