When adding numbers with exponents do you add or subtract the exponents?
you do not do anything when you add numbers with exponents. you just figure out the answer. it is only if you multiply numbers with exponents, where you add the exponents..
When adding numbers with fraction exponents do you add the exponents?
Fractional exponents follow the same rules as integral exponents. Integral exponents are numbers raised to an integer power.
When you are multiplying exponents do you only add the exponents or do you also multiply the bases?
Add the exponents
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.
Can you add unknowns that have coefficients and exponents?
the unknowns must be the same variable and the exponents have to be the same. examples) x4 + y4 cannot be added because they are not the same variable. x3 + x2 cannot be added because they have different exponents. 3y6 + 5y6 can be added because they have the same variable and exponents. (answer: 8y6)
