__** Monday, March 8th, 2010 **__ Here is a table to show the laws of exponents, I got it from this website if you want further descriptions on the laws: []
 * ~ Law ||~ Example ||
 * x1 = x || 61 = 6 ||
 * x0 = 1 || 70 = 1 ||
 * x-1 = 1/x || 4-1 = 1/4 ||
 * xmxn = xm+n || x2x3 = x2+3 = x5 ||
 * xm/xn = xm-n || x6/x2 = x6-2 = x4 ||
 * (xm)n = xmn || (x2)3 = x2×3 = x6 ||
 * (xy)n = xnyn || (xy)3 = x3y3 ||
 * (x/y)n = xn/yn || (x/y)2 = x2 / y2 ||
 * x-n = 1/xn || x-3 = 1/x3 ||
 * And the law about Fractional Exponents: ||
