Answer:

'Add Them'

Explanation:

Rules for indices:

First law: multiplication

If the two terms have the same base (in this case x) and are to be multiplied together their indices are added.


x ^(n) * x^(m) = x^(n + m)

Second law: Division

If the two terms have the same base (in this case ) and are to be divided their indices are subtracted.


x ^(n) / x^(m) = x^( n- m)

Third law: Brackets

If a term with a power is itself raised to a power then the powers are multiplied together.


(x^(n) ) ^(m) = x^(n * m)

Fourth law: Negative Power


x ^( - n) = (1 / x^(n) )

Fifth law: Power of Zero


x ^(0) = 1

Sixth law: Fractional Power

The top line of the fractional power gives the usual power of the whole term. The bottom of the fraction stands for the type of root.


x^( n/ \: m ) = ( \sqrt[m]{x} )^(n)
