Amendment 16
1. Anything to the power of 0 is 1. Look at it this way. 2^3=8 Divide that by two, or the base. 2^3/2=2^2=4 Divide that by two. 2^2/2=2^1=2 Divide that by two. 2^1/2=2^0=1 Every time you lower an exponent by one power, you pretty much divide the number by its base. Key terms. Base: In 2^0, 2 is the base since you are multiplying it by itself "0 times". The power, or exponent: In 2^0, 0 is the power/exponent since it is the number of times 2 will be multiplied.

In order to do this we should use an example such as this:(8^4+2a)(16^a-1)In order to solve this, we would need to find the solution to (8^4+2a)(16^a-1)Whenever multiplying two powers and the bases are different, we always want to make the bases the same. We cannot do anything to this equation until the bases are the same, so the equation becomes(8^4+2a)(16^a-1)-------> (2^3)^4+2a · (2^4)^a-1Next we multiply the exponent inside with the exponents outside of each pair of brackets and we get 2^12+6a · 2^-4+4aWe have now made the bases the same! And our solution is 2^8+10a
