82 = 8 × 8 = 64i think that's one (the little 2 is the exponent)
you do not do anything when you add numbers with exponents. you just figure out the answer. it is only if you multiply numbers with exponents, where you add the exponents..
Fractional exponents follow the same rules as integral exponents. Integral exponents are numbers raised to an integer power.
Add the exponents
The laws of exponents work the same with rational exponents, the difference being they use fractions not integers.
the unknowns must be the same variable and the exponents have to be the same. examples) x4 + y4 cannot be added because they are not the same variable. x3 + x2 cannot be added because they have different exponents. 3y6 + 5y6 can be added because they have the same variable and exponents. (answer: 8y6)

In algebraic equations, exponents can contain variables. They can be solved for by using logarithmic rules for exponents.
When multiplying something with exponents, you add it. When dividing something with exponents, you subtract it.
You can have negative exponents anywhere. When they are in the denominator, they are equivalent to positive exponents in the numerator of a fraction.
