No.
x^2 * y^2 = (x*y)^2
You multiply the bases but the exponent remains the same.
If the base numbers or variables are the same, you add the exponents.
Convert all expressions to the same base.
For each variable, find the smallest exponent in all the expressions. If the variable does not appear in one of the expressions, it's exponent may be taken as 0. Also, remember that if a variable seems to be without an exponent, its exponent is actually 1 (that is x is the same as x1). For example, GCF(a3bc, a2c3, a3b2c3) = a2c. Exponents of a are 3, 2 and 3: smallest = 2 Exponents of b are 1, 0 and 2: smallest = 0 Exponents of c are 1, 3 and 3: smallest = 1 The same rules apply for fractional exponents.
The exponents are added.
The rule for multiplying with exponents 1) In order to multiply you must have the same base! ex: 3^2 * 3^5 3 is the base. When you multiply exponents, just add the exponents together and keep the same base. 3^2 * 3^5 = 3^7 Visually, this is what it looks like. 3^2 = 3 * 3 3^5 = 3*3*3*3*3 Since we're multiplying them together... 3*3 *( 3*3*3*3*3) All we do is count up how many times we're multiplying 3 by itself. I count 7 times. That means 3 is being raised to the 7th power, or 3^7. When you have an exponent raised to another exponent: example (5²)³ [five squared, then cubed], if you work it out long way: (5 * 5)³ = (5 * 5) * (5 * 5) * (5 * 5) = 56, so you multiply the exponents (2 * 6). This is just like multiplying being the same as repetitive addition.
Sum the exponents.
exponents can be found in math formulas and wen multiplying the same number. exponents can be found in math formulas and wen multiplying the same number.
If you are multiplying numbers with exponents, and the base is the same, you can just add exponents. For example, 104 x 105 = 109.
If you are multiplying powers of the same base (like 24 times 211), yes, you add the exponents.
You add them.
No you add them if the bases are the same.
If the base numbers or variables are the same, you add the exponents.
Convert all expressions to the same base.
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.
To divide by a fraction, you simply multiply by the reciprocal. For example, dividing by 3/5 is the same as multiplying by 5/3.
I presume you mean you are multiplying two powers of the same base, where both exponents are negative. Regardless of the signs of the exponents, you algebraically add the exponents. For example, 2-3 times 2-4 is 2-7; 35 times 3-8 is 3-3.
When multiplying exponents with the same base add them: x^3*x^2 = x^5 When dividing exponents with the same base subtract them: x^3/x^2 = x^1 or x
