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)

When multiplying a number with exponents do you add or multiply the exponents?
You add exponents when multiplying. Ex: (xm) × (xn) = xm+n
Is it possible to add 2 polynomials together and your answer is not a polynomial?
No. Even if the answer is zero, zero is still a polynomial.
What you do with the exponents when you you are multiplying?
If you are multiplying numbers with exponents, and the base is the same, you can just add exponents. For example, 104 x 105 = 109.
