6 to the 6th power times 6 to the 4th power; is it 36 to the 10th or 6 to the 10th?

Leave the bases alone (so keep them as 6) You are multiplying two exponential expressions with the same base. So you add the exponents: 6+4 = 10 The base stays as 6. The new exponent is 10 Therefore, \[\Large 6^6*6^4 = 6^{10}\]
