If you have a power, the "base" is the large number to the left; the "exponent" is the raised (and smaller) number to the right.

When there are 2 exponent question what do you do to the exponents if the base is different?
the base and the laws of exponent
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 are the laws of rational exponents similar to laws of integer exponents?
The laws of exponents work the same with rational exponents, the difference being they use fractions not integers.
What is the rule that allows us to add the exponents of factors whose base numbers are the same?
It is one on the "index laws".
Can you have two different exponents on a base number?
You can have an infinite number of different exponents on a base number, you would then have an infinite amount of different numbers.

How do you solve in exponents laws if the bases are not the same?
Convert all expressions to the same base.

If two exponents have the same factor or base what happens to the exponents when the exponents are multipled?
The exponents are added.
What are the laws of exponents for division?
If the base is the same, you can subtract the exponents. For example (using "^" por powers):10^5 / 10^2 = 10^310^5 / 10^(-4) = 10^9
When multiplying terms with the same base you do what to the exponents?
Sum the exponents.
What is base and exponents?
what is 29's exponent and base
Why does the base of exponents has to be the same?
it doesn't
What is exponents?
it is a number on the top right of the number which shows how many times to multiply the base by itself. for example: 23=2x2x2 2 is the base, 3 is the exponent.
What you do with the exponents when you you are multiplying?
If you are multiplying numbers with exponents, and the base is the same, you can just add exponents. For example, 104 x 105 = 109.
