When multiplying numbers with exponents, you add the exponents.
When dividing variables with exponents subtract exponents?
Yes. When you divide one variable with an exponent from another, you subtract the exponents
How do you simplify exponents or powers in algebra?
When multiplying exponents with the same base add them: x^3*x^2 = x^5 When dividing exponents with the same base subtract them: x^3/x^2 = x^1 or x
What is 10 to the fourth power multiplied by 10 to the seventh power?
10^4 * 10^7 = 10^11 When multiplying exponents with the same base (in this case, 10), you add the exponents (4+7). If you were dividing, you'd subtract the exponents.
When dividing x by x and you have exponents on each of the x do you add the exponents or subtract?
When dividing numbers (or variables) subtract the exponents. Remember, an exponent indicates a kind of multiplication, it is the number of times that a number is multiplied by itself. If you are dividing by that same number, then clearly you are multiplying it by itself a fewer number of times. Division is the inverse function of multiplication.
