Ryan, here we go.
xnxm = xn+m
(xy)b = xbyb
(at)q = atq
xn/xm = xn-m
(a/b)w = aw/bw
Hope this helps!

You may have learned that anything to the 0 power is equal to 1. The reason for that is because of the next-to-last one. We already know that anything over itself is equal to 1. Let's take x2/x2. We already know that is equal to 1, but it's also x2-2 = x0 =1.
