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

What does it mean to multiply two powers having the same base and add the exponents?

This is one of the laws of exponents, which states that xa * xb = x(a+b) The base is x, and the two powers (or exponents) are a and b.


How do you simplily this equation using exponents?

To simplify an equation using exponents, first identify the base numbers and their respective powers. Apply the laws of exponents, such as the product of powers (adding exponents when multiplying like bases), the quotient of powers (subtracting exponents when dividing like bases), and the power of a power (multiplying exponents when raising a power to another power). Combine like terms and reduce any fractions as needed. Finally, express the equation in its simplest form.


When do add exponents?

when you multiply powers with the same base.


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 Combining laws of exponents?

Combining laws of exponents refers to the rules that govern the manipulation of expressions involving powers. Key laws include the product of powers (adding exponents when multiplying like bases), the quotient of powers (subtracting exponents when dividing like bases), and the power of a power (multiplying exponents when raising a power to another power). These rules help simplify expressions and solve equations involving exponents efficiently. Understanding these laws is essential for working with algebraic expressions in mathematics.
