Section 7.4 - Quotient Rule

 * Zero Power Rule**


 * Anything to the zero power equals 1 !!! **




 * Quotient Rule for Exponents**



If you are dividing exponents, __and the bases are the same__, just subtract the exponent in the denominator from the exponent in the numerator.


 * Note **:Watch out for negative exponents in the denominator!

Also, you will often be expected to change answers with negative exponents into one with positive exponents ( 1 over ).
