Convert all expressions to the same base.
Add them up providing that the bases are the same.
No.x^2 * y^2 = (x*y)^2You multiply the bases but the exponent remains the same.
If the bases are the same then for division subtract the exponents to find the quotient
The exponents are added.
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
The laws of exponents work the same with rational exponents, the difference being they use fractions not integers.
nothing, keep the exponents the same, remember you can only add or subtract when the exponents are the same
u cant they have to be the same (:
No you add them if the bases are the same.
You keep them the same if they have different bases
Add them up providing that the bases are the same.
No.x^2 * y^2 = (x*y)^2You multiply the bases but the exponent remains the same.
If the bases are the same then for division subtract the exponents to find the quotient
Just multiply the coefficients, leave the variable the same, 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.
When multiplying exponential factors the exponents are added if bases are the same. 5^3 * 5^4 = 5^7 check it out on your calculator.
If they have the same base, only in subtraction or division. Otherwise, you must make the bases the same first and proceed as before.
