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
How do you multiply exponents when the bases are not the same?
u cant they have to be the same (:
How do we know if we have to multiply or add exponents if the bases are the same?
You have to add the exponents. It's best if you just remember it. You can also consider what happens when you multiply something like:(2 x 2 x 2) x (2 x 2) As you can notice, the number of factors get added. That's like adding the exponents.
What would the exponents of any two equal bases have to be for their product to equal 1 explain?
When working with exponents there are a couple of rules for 1 to remember. Any number that is brought to the power of “one” will always equal that same number or itself. Secondly one at any power is still one. So for two equal bases to have their product be one, they both can equal one.
What is 6r times 5r to the second power simplified?
6r * 5r^2 = 30r^3 ------------ multiply the bases and add the exponents ( 6r is really 6r^1, but the implied 1 is never written as mathematical convention )
What is quotient law of exponent?
If the bases are the same then for division subtract the exponents to find the quotient
When asked to divide a term with a exponent by the same term with an exponent?
If you divide two common bases, you can subtract their exponents as an equivalent operation.
When do you subtract the exponents?
If they have the same base, only in subtraction or division. Otherwise, you must make the bases the same first and proceed as before.
When you are multiplying exponents do you only add the exponents or do you also multiply the bases?
Add the exponents
What is the prime factorization of 4 exponents?
The answer will depend on what bases the exponents are of.
What do you do with the exponents when your adding the bases of the number?
nothing, keep the exponents the same, remember you can only add or subtract when the exponents are the same
Do you subtract exponents when multiplying?
No you add them if the bases are the same.
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 is alike between triangular prism?
The two bases are alike.
How do you multiply exponents when the bases are not the same?
u cant they have to be the same (:
When adding polynomials what do you do to the exponents?
You keep them the same if they have different bases
Why the properties using zero exponents and negative exponents specify that the bases be nonzero numbers?
Because the expressions are undefined for base = 0.
