The product rule says when multiplying two powers that have the same base, you can add the exponents. There are product rules used in calculus to find the product of derivatives, but that does not really have to do with exponents.

The above answer translates to the following Algebra rule:

xm * xn = xm+n

Here is an example:

x5 * x2 = x5+2 = x7
