Answer 1

wait its actually 8^6 ÷ 8^2

Answer 2

I was about to say. ^^

Answer 3

Here's a hint. It's pretty self-explanatory:\[\frac{a^b}{a^c}=a^{b-c}\]:)

Answer 4

do i subtract on this one too? 19^3 × 19^4

Answer 5

On that one, the rule is:\[a^b\cdot a^c=a^{b+c}\]:)

Answer 6

so i add for multiplication and i subtract for division? and is there a plus and minus one too? if so whats the formula for them?

Answer 7

That's correct, and unfortunately, there are no exponent rules for addition and subtraction of powers. That is,\[a^b+a^c\text{ and}\\a^b-a^c\]is as good as you can get them to be.
