Exponents are numbers that simplify the amount of times a number multiplies by itself. For example, 5^3 would be equal to 5x5x5 which equals 125. In that same number, 5 would be the base and 3 would be the exponent, (aka) the little number on the top right of another number. And yes, exponents CAN have exponents.
Add them up providing that the bases are the same.
Convert all expressions to the same base.
If the bases are the same then for division subtract the exponents to find the quotient
No.x^2 * y^2 = (x*y)^2You multiply the bases but the exponent remains the same.
Multiply-Add Divide-Subtract Power-MultiplyIt's the rule for exponents.If the bases are the same and they're...- multiplied; add the exponents. 22(23) = 25- divided; subtract the exponents (36/34) = 32- raised to a power; multiply the exponents (42)4 = 48
Add the exponents
nothing, keep the exponents the same, remember you can only add or subtract when the exponents are the same
The answer will depend on what bases the exponents are of.
No you add them if the bases are the same.
when two numbers are multiplied together that are exponents you multiply the bases amd add the exponents the relationship would simply be that the product exponents are the sum of the exponents being multiplied in the question
u cant they have to be the same (:
You keep them the same if they have different bases
Because the expressions are undefined for base = 0.
Add them up providing that the bases are the same.
To simplify an equation using exponents, first identify the base numbers and their respective powers. Apply the laws of exponents, such as the product of powers (adding exponents when multiplying like bases), the quotient of powers (subtracting exponents when dividing like bases), and the power of a power (multiplying exponents when raising a power to another power). Combine like terms and reduce any fractions as needed. Finally, express the equation in its simplest form.
When multiplying common bases, you add the exponents. For example, if you have ( a^m \times a^n ), the result is ( a^{m+n} ). This property applies to any real number base, provided the base is not zero.
No, you do not add the exponents when the bases are different. Exponents can only be added or subtracted when they share the same base. For instance, (a^m \cdot a^n) (same base) results in (a^{m+n}), while (a^m \cdot b^n) (different bases) cannot be simplified in that way.
