To solve equations with negative exponents and different bases, first rewrite each term with a positive exponent by applying the rule (a^{-n} = \frac{1}{a^n}). This may involve moving terms across the equation. Once all terms have positive exponents, you can simplify or solve the equation by isolating the variable or using logarithms, if necessary. Finally, check for extraneous solutions, especially if you manipulated the equation significantly.
Because the expressions are undefined for base = 0.
You keep them the same if they have different bases
No, you do not add the exponents when the bases are different. Exponents can only be added or subtracted when they share the same base. For instance, (a^m \cdot a^n) (same base) results in (a^{m+n}), while (a^m \cdot b^n) (different bases) cannot be simplified in that way.
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.
Any number, positive or negative, raised to an even-numbered power, returns a positive number.

The exponents of 57 refer to the integers ( n ) for which ( 57^n ) is a power of 57. The only integer exponents are the non-negative integers: 0, 1, 2, and so on, where ( 57^0 = 1 ), ( 57^1 = 57 ), ( 57^2 = 3249 ), etc. There are no integer exponents that yield other bases or negative results, as exponents can only produce powers of the original number when applied to it directly.
Add the exponents
nothing, keep the exponents the same, remember you can only add or subtract when the exponents are the same
The answer will depend on what bases the exponents are of.
No you add them if the bases are the same.
If you mean ' "When" do you add exponents? ' then the answer is when the same base of equal or different exponents is multiplied. in other words, when you hav "3 exponent 3 times 4 exponent 5 " you can't add the exponents because the bases (3 and 4) aren't the same.
An exponential equation is one in which a variable occurs in the exponent.An exponential equation in which each side can be expressed interms of the same base can be solved using the property:If the bases are the same, set the exponents equal.
when two numbers are multiplied together that are exponents you multiply the bases amd add the exponents the relationship would simply be that the product exponents are the sum of the exponents being multiplied in the question
