Front

What does the expression 2^3 mean?

Back

2^3 means 2 multiplied by itself 3 times: 2 x 2 x 2 = 8.

Front

When dividing exponential expressions with the same base, what happens to the exponents?

Back

The exponents are subtracted.

Front

What is the result of 3^4 ÷ 3^2?

Back

3^4 ÷ 3^2 = 3^(4-2) = 3^2 = 9.
