Question

How to use exponents on multiplying integers?

Answer 1

Rules for exponents:
\[
x^a\cdot x^b=x^{a+b}
\](Similarly for negative \(a, b\))
\[
\left(x^a\right)^b=x^{ab}
\](For real \(a,b\)) And:
\[
\frac{x^a}{x^b}=x^ax^{-b}=x^{a-b}
\]That's pretty much it.

Answer 2

do exponents before multiplication

Answer 3

PEMDAS

Parenthesis
Exponent
Multiplication
Division
Addition
Subraction

Answer 4

I'm really dumb and in 7th grade. So i don't really understand that well :/ Like lets say (-2) with a exponent of 2x(-2)

Answer 5

is that times or x?

Answer 6

\[\huge 2 \times (-2)\]
??

is that your question?

Answer 7

Yes.

Answer 8

you can't use exponents there because they don't have the same base. one is 2 and the other is -2. they're different

Answer 9

oh wait... \[\huge (-2)^2\] is also different

Answer 10

\[\huge (-2)^2 \implies -2 \times -2\]
got it?

Answer 11

Yess thankk you (:
