Nnesha (nnesha):
when we multiply same bases we should `add` their exponents \[\huge\rm x^m \times x^n=x^{m +n}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i know but its over the 2^4
OpenStudy (anonymous):
do will that simplify it i need it to be one number with one exponent
Still Need Help?

yes so when we divide same bases we should `subtract` their exponents \[\huge\rm \frac{ x^m }{ x^n }=x^{m-n}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so 2^5 over 2^4
Nnesha (nnesha):
yes now subtract
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so 1^1
OpenStudy (anonymous):
or no

base would stay the same just subtract the exponents yes so when we divide same bases we should `subtract` their exponents \[\huge\rm \frac{ x^m }{ x^n }=x^{m-n}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
is it 2^1
Nnesha (nnesha):
yes right which is same as 2
Nnesha (nnesha):
good job!
