Answer:

when you multiply two numbers or variables with the same base,you simply add the exponents. When you multiply expressions with the same exponent but diffrent bases,you multiply the bases and use the same exponent

Answer:

Explanation:

I'm not positive about what you're asking. So I'm going to explain what I think you're asking.

Multiplying powers with the same base.

Example 2 to the 2nd time the 3rd.

2^2X3= 2^6 Meaning you have 2 times it's self two times and then two more times and then two more times. 2X2 X 2X2 X 2X2

Or two time three is six, so you have two raised to the sixth power...two times itself six times. 2X2X2X2X2X2

3^3 X 9^3

If you have the same exponent with different bases, you multiply each base the correct number of times...3^3 would be 3X3X3 and 9^3 would be 9X9X9

9^3=729 and 3^3=27 and then multiply those two products 729X27=19,638

I hope that helps.
