how do i do this?

Nnesha (nnesha):

when we multiply same bases we should `add` exponents \[\huge\rm x^m \times x^n=x^{m+n}\]

Nnesha (nnesha):

so \[\rm 4^4 \times 4^3 = ???\]

OpenStudy (spring98):

4^7

Nnesha (nnesha):

yep right now we have \[\frac{ 4^7 }{ 4^5 }\] when we divide same base we should `subtract` their exponents \[\huge\rm \frac{ x^m }{ x^n }=x^{m-n}\]

OpenStudy (spring98):

4^2 right?

Nnesha (nnesha):

good work!

thanks
