Quick Question! Multiply: (3x^2)(6x^4). Would you multiply or add the exponents?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

add

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay, and if its (3x^3)^2 you would multiply them right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when multiplying powers of the same bases, you add the exponents PS: in case you are asked to divide powers, you minus the exponents

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in that case, yes you would multiply 3 by 2
