Hey! Can you helpl me? i don't get anything about the rules of exponents.What even are exponents??
Like "x" or "y"?
Yes!! Even "4"."7" it can be any number or word.
Hahaha Of course!! Let's start with the base. The base us the number or expression that is being multiplied
So in the problem 5^2 the base would be 5 and the exponent 2?
Ok now the exponent. This is the number on top of the base. it is the power to which it is being raised
You Betcha! Another example can (x,3)^4 the base is (x,3) and the exponent is 4
Also when two exponents with the same base are being divided like a^8 I a^6 you do the opposite! You subtract sa it woul be a^2
Ohhh yes! the product rule
Yes! Known as the quotient rule
Now, when the base is same and they are being multipied like in tihis problem y^3 x y^5 then you have to add the exponents so the answer would be y^7
What does power to power mean?
Good question! Well if we have (x^3)^5, the power is being raised to a power so we have to multiply the exponents together so it would be x^15 since 3x5 is 15.
