Can variables with exponents that are being multiplied be combined?

You can combine like variables but not unlike variables.
So, for example, x2 * x2 = x4 but x2 * y2 does not equal xy4!
Let's make x equal 2 and y equal 3 just to demonstrate this.
So if x2 * x2 = x4 then 22 * 22 = 24 which would mean 4 * 4 = 16 (Yes, that's right)
But x2 * y2 can not be combined. 22 * 32 = 4 * 9 = 36 (which is not equal to a combination of x and y to the power 4).

What is the relationship between the exponents of the base and the exponent of the product?
when two numbers are multiplied together that are exponents you multiply the bases amd add the exponents the relationship would simply be that the product exponents are the sum of the exponents being multiplied in the question
What are facts about exponents?
Exponets is a math word and have more than one number being multiplied by itself
What is the sum of d and z?
d + z=d+ z because there are no like terms and the two variables are not being multiplied.
What is 6x6x6x6 in exponets?
64 ( six to the fourth power) Exponents indicate the number of times that the base (6 in this case) is multiplied by itself. In this example, it's being multiplied four times, so we use the exponent 4.
How are the laws of rational exponents similar to laws of integer exponents?
The laws of exponents work the same with rational exponents, the difference being they use fractions not integers.
What is a power in an exponent?
Exponents are shorthand for repeated multiplication of the same thing by itself. For instance, the shorthand for multiplying three copies of the number 5 is shown on the right-hand side of the "equals" sign in (5)(5)(5) = 53. The "exponent", being 3 in this example, stands for however many times the value is being multiplied. The thing that's being multiplied, being 5 in this example, is called the "base".
What are variables that are not being studied called?
Independent Variables.
Is a multiplier a result from being multiplied?
The result is called the product. Multipliers and the numbers being multiplied.
How are constant variables different from independent variables?
Constants stays the same independent variables is the variable that is being manipulated
What is the meaning of coefficients?
3xy -- 3 is the coefficient of the variables x and y All these are being multiplied -- 3 times x times y Definition of coefficient -- A numerical value multiplied by a variable. Numerical values are not only whole numbers, but can be fractions (rational numbers), negative numbers, irrational numbers and imaginary numbers.
