Question

How do u do exponents
​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The exponent "product rule" tells us that, when multiplying two powers that have the same base, you can add the exponents. In this example, you can see how it works. Adding the exponents is just a short cut! The "power rule" tells us that to raise a power to a power, just multiply the exponents.

Answer 2

Understand that you express a power in terms of a base and an exponent. The base B represents the number you multiply and the exponent "x" tells you how many times you multiply the base, and you write it as "B^ x." For example, 8^3 is 8*8*8=512 where "8" is the base, "3" is the exponent and the whole expression is the power.

Know that any base B raised to the first power is equal to B, or B^1 = B. Any base raised to the zero power (B^0) is equal to 1 when B is 1 or greater. Some examples of these are "9^ 1=9" and "9^0=1."
