Best Answer

The exponent shows how many times the base is used as a factor. 103 = 10 x 10 x 10

If you multiply 103 x 103 you're really adding three more factors of ten. The answer will be 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 or 106

When you add polynomials what do you do with your exponents?

Nothing. The exponents are not affected when added polynomials. However, they play a role in which variables add or subtract another variable. For example. (3x^2+5x-6)+(4x^2-3x+4) The exponents would determine that when adding these polynomials that 3x^2 would be added to 4x^2 and so forth 5x-3x and finally -6 would be added to 4. With a final conclusion of (7x^2+2x-2)
