Answer:

Example: 3⁴ = 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 = 81

Answer:

In order to multiply two exponential expressions together, they must have the same base, and all you need to do is add the exponents. This works if the exponents are positive or negative, but only if the bases are the same. If the terms have different bases, there is not much that can be done to simplify.

it isn't the answer but i hope it helps you :)
