They are not. Exponents, powers and indices are terms used for the same thing.

What is the differencr between exponents and powers?
None. Different words for the same thing.
What does it mean to multiply two powers having the same base and add the exponents?
This is one of the laws of exponents, which states that xa * xb = x(a+b) The base is x, and the two powers (or exponents) are a and b.
What is all the power and exponents 1-10?
All the powers and exponents of 1 are 1.The powers and exponents of any of the other numbers up to 10 are equivalent to the all the positive numbers - rational and irrational.
What the sum of the exponents of the variables?
That means that you are supposed to add them.Multiplying the same variable raised to different powers is equivalent to adding the exponents. For example, 10^5 x 10^3 = 10^(5+3) = 10^8. (Using "^" for powers.)
Who discovered powers and exponents in math?
i dont know i am asking you
How do you change powers with negative exponents to powers with positive exponents?
by doing reciprocal

When do add exponents?
when you multiply powers with the same base.

What is a rule that works for multiplying powers of the same base in exponents?
To multiply powers with the same base, you add the exponents. For example, 10^2 x 10^3 = 10^5. Similarly, to divide powers with the same base, you subtract the exponents. For example, 10^3 / 10^5 = 10^(-2).
When multiplying number do you add the exponents?
If you are multiplying powers of the same base (like 24 times 211), yes, you add the exponents.
Why do you use exponents?
Exponents are used in many different contexts and for different, though related, reasons. Exponents are used in scientific notation to represent very large and very small numbers. The main purpose it to strip the number of unnecessary detail and to reduce the risk of errors. Exponents are used in algebra and calculus to deal with exponential or power functions. Many laws in physics, for example, involve powers (positive, negative or fractional) of basic measures. Calculations based on these laws are simper if exponents are used.
