Answer 2

x^3 times x^4 + x^7. When multiplying, you add the exponents. x^4/x^3 + x. You subtract. And you can't add or subtract x^3 and x^4. You can only add and subtract when they have the same exponent. Ex) x^3 + x^3 = 2x^3. Does this make sense?

Answer 3

*****x^3 times x^4 EQUALS x^7. and x^4/x^3 EQUALS x.

Answer 4

multiplying:\[x^m\times~ x^n=x^{m+n}\]dividing:\[\frac{x^m}{x^n}=x^{m-n}\]

Answer 5

what if it is 3x^2 X 2x^4

Will it be 6x^6

Answer 6

\[3x^2\times2x^4~~~\rightarrow~~~3(x^2)\times2(x^4)~~~\rightarrow~~~6(x^{2+4})~~~\rightarrow~~~6x^6\]

Answer 7

Also addition and subtraction examples? @yummydum

Answer 8

yes!

Answer 9

Also what if it is: 5E^11/6E^3

How do i solve that? I know the subtraction, but what about the whole numbers?

Answer 10

the whole numbers stay as they are if they cant be simplified...so in this case your answer would be:\[5E^8\over6E\]

Answer 11

hmk

Answer 12

when subtracting the exponents in a division problem, the resulting number, if positive is put on the variable in the numerator, and if negative, is put on the variable in the denominator

Answer 13

the resulting exponent*

Answer 14

what about

1.01E^2+2.00E^7
