Understanding Exponential & Logarithmic Relationships
Key Exponential Patterns
Zero Power Rule: Any non-zero number to the power of 0 equals 1
Multiplication Rule: a^m × a^n = a^(m+n) - add the exponents
Power of a Power: (a^m)^n = a^(m×n) - multiply the exponents
Negative Exponents: a^(-n) = 1/a^n - flip to the reciprocal
Logarithm Rules to Remember
Log of 1: log_b(1) = 0 - the starting point for all logs
Log of Base: log_b(b) = 1 - the base to the power of 1 is itself
Product Rule: log_b(xy) = log_b(x) + log_b(y) - logs add for multiplication
Quotient Rule: log_b(x/y) = log_b(x) - log_b(y) - logs subtract for division
