Question

why is it that when you have a power to a power situation, why do you multiply the exponents ? create an example as part of your explanation ​

Answer 1

Explanation:

For example, (2^4) is 2x2x2x2 or 16

(2^4)^3 Would be 16^3 or 2x2x2x2 3 times so 12 times in a row which is 4x3

Because exponents are for repeating multiplication they multiply when used together
