The exponent shows how many times the base is used as a factor. 103 = 10 x 10 x 10
If you multiply 103 x 103 you're really adding three more factors of ten. The answer will be 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 or 106

When you are multiplying exponents do you only add the exponents or do you also multiply the bases?
Add the exponents
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 do you know to add exponents and when to multiply exponents?
You cannot add exponents, you can only multiply. Example 3^3 it would be 3x3x3 9^3 it would be 9x9x9
How do you raise a power to a power?
The rule is that you multiply the exponents. So if I have 2 squared and I want to raise it to the third power, you multiply the 2x3=6. When you multiply powers you add the exponents. When you raise exponents to a power you multiply. This works for rational exponents which can be used to represent roots as well.
Do you add or multiply exponents in a fraction?
The answer depends on what you wish to achieve.
When you multiply polynomials what do you do with the exponents?
Add them up providing that the bases are the same.

When multiplying a number with exponents do you add or multiply the exponents?
You add exponents when multiplying. Ex: (xm) × (xn) = xm+n
When multiplying a number exponents that are squared do you add or multiply?
If the base numbers or variables are the same, you add the exponents.
How do you multiply numbers when it has exponents?
You should multiply the numbers, but add the exponents. For example: 92 x 27 = 189
Do all polynomials have exponents?
Yes.
When do add exponents?
when you multiply powers with the same base.
When you add polynomials what do you do with your exponents?
Nothing. The exponents are not affected when added polynomials. However, they play a role in which variables add or subtract another variable. For example. (3x^2+5x-6)+(4x^2-3x+4) The exponents would determine that when adding these polynomials that 3x^2 would be added to 4x^2 and so forth 5x-3x and finally -6 would be added to 4. With a final conclusion of (7x^2+2x-2)
