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 terms with the same base you do what to the exponents?
Sum the exponents.
When multiplying numbers with exponents do you add the exponents or multiply them?
If your multiplying two numbers with the same base you add the exponents. EX. 4^2 * 4^3 This means 4 to the 2nd power times 4 to the 3rd power. You just add the 2 and 3. Now it becomes: 4^5 Hope this helped!
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 adding variables with exponents do you add or subtract the exponents?
When adding variables with exponents, you do neither. You only add the exponents if #1 The variables are the same character (such as they are both "a") #2 You are multiplying the variables (NOT ADDING, SUBTRACTING, OR DIVIDING) Using a simple concrete case may make this clearer: 10+2 times 10+3 equals 10+5 ( 100 times 1000 equals 100,000).
