An exponent is a number that indicates how many times to multiply the base by itself. For example, in $$2^3$$ , 2 is the base and 3 is the exponent, meaning $$2 \times 2 \times 2$$ .

Simplify: $$(3^2 \cdot 3^4)$$

Using the product of powers rule, $$3^2 \cdot 3^4 = 3^{2+4} = 3^6$$ .

Simplify: $$(x^3)^2$$

Using the power of a power rule, $$(x^3)^2 = x^{3 \cdot 2} = x^6$$ .

Simplify: $$\frac{5^7}{5^3}$$

Using the quotient of powers rule, $$\frac{5^7}{5^3} = 5^{7-3} = 5^4$$ .

What is $$\sqrt{a^2}$$ ?

The square root of a squared term is the absolute value of the base. Thus, $$\sqrt{a^2} = |a|$$ .

Simplify: $$(-2)^3 \cdot (-2)^6$$

Using the product of powers rule, $$(-2)^3 \cdot (-2)^6 = (-2)^{3+6} = (-2)^9$$ .

What is $$\sqrt{24}$$ ?

To simplify, factor 24 into 4 and 6: $$\sqrt{24} = \sqrt{4 \cdot 6} = \sqrt{4} \cdot \sqrt{6} = 2\sqrt{6}$$ .

What is $$\sqrt{50}$$ ?

To simplify, factor 50 into 25 and 2: $$\sqrt{50} = \sqrt{25 \cdot 2} = \sqrt{25} \cdot \sqrt{2} = 5\sqrt{2}$$ .

What is $$\sqrt[4]{m^3}$$ ?

Using the power of a root rule, $$\sqrt[4]{m^3} = m^{3/4}$$ .
