They are not. Exponents, powers and indices are terms used for the same thing.

What the sum of the exponents of the variables?

That means that you are supposed to add them.Multiplying the same variable raised to different powers is equivalent to adding the exponents. For example, 10^5 x 10^3 = 10^(5+3) = 10^8. (Using "^" for powers.)


Why do you subtract exponents when you dividing powers?

When dividing powers with the same base, you subtract the exponents to simplify the expression based on the properties of exponents. This is derived from the definition of exponents, where dividing (a^m) by (a^n) (both with the same base (a)) can be thought of as removing (n) factors of (a) from (m) factors of (a), resulting in (a^{m-n}). This rule helps maintain consistency and simplifies calculations involving powers.

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 multiplying number do you add the exponents?
