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.

What is the quotient of powers rule?

When dividing two exponents with the same base, you keep the base the same and subtract the exponents. For example, $$\frac{x^5}{x^2} = x^{5-2} = x^3$$ .

What happens when you multiply two exponents with different bases?

You cannot combine them using exponent rules; you must calculate each separately.
