• 1

• itself

• negative

According to exponent rules, when we raise the power to a power we _______ the exponents.

Example: (d²)⁵

• add

• subtract

• multiply

• divide

According to exponent rules, when we multiply two powers with the same base we _______ the exponents.

Example: c⁶ ⋅ c⁴

• add

• subtract

• multiply

• divide

According to exponent rules, when we divide two powers with the same base we _______ the exponents.

Example: h⁸ / h³

• add

• subtract

• multiply

• divide
