Question

When do you multiply/divide and add/subtract exponents?

Answer 1

you can figure it out like this: x^3 means x*x*x
x^3/x^2 means x*x*x/x*x= x
you can see if you just look at the exponents 3-2 = 1 is how to do it

Answer 2

when u multiply same base you add
when u divide the same base u subtract

Answer 3

for multiplying
x^2 * x^1 means x*x * x = x*x*x= x^3 (add exponents)

Answer 4

So the same base is like (x^3)*(x^7)
and different bases is like xy^2*x^3?

Answer 5

yes
