Answer

aman=am−n\frac{a^m}{a^n} = a^{m-n}

(ab)n=anbn(ab)^n = a^n b^n

(ab)n=anbn\left(\frac{a}{b}\right)^n = \frac{a^n}{b^n}

Here are the explanations for the laws of exponents you mentioned:

1. Quotient Rule
This rule states that when dividing two powers with the same base, you subtract the exponents.

aman=am−n\frac{a^m}{a^n} = a^{m-n}

Example:

x7x3=x7−3=x4\frac{x^7}{x^3} = x^{7-3} = x^4

The quotient rule is:

aman=am−n\boxed{\frac{a^m}{a^n} = a^{m-n}}

2. Power of a Product Rule
This rule states that when a product of bases is raised to an exponent, you apply the exponent to each base in the product.

(ab)n=anbn(ab)^n = a^n b^n

Example:

(2x)3=23x3=8x3(2x)^3 = 2^3 x^3 = 8x^3

The power of a product rule is:

(ab)n=anbn\boxed{(ab)^n = a^n b^n}

3. Power of a Quotient Rule
This rule states that when a quotient (fraction) is raised to an exponent, you apply the exponent to both the numerator and the denominator.

(ab)n=anbn\left(\frac{a}{b}\right)^n = \frac{a^n}{b^n}

Example:

(yz)4=y4z4\left(\frac{y}{z}\right)^4 = \frac{y^4}{z^4}

The power of a quotient rule is:

(ab)n=anbn\boxed{\left(\frac{a}{b}\right)^n = \frac{a^n}{b^n}}
