Rules for Exponents Multiplication and Power to a Power

Simplify the exponential expression:

• 10x^-2
• 2x²
• 2x¹²
• 10x¹²

8⁷ ⁄ 8²

• 8⁵
• 8⁹
• 8¹⁴
• 1⁵

5³⋅5⁴

• 5⁷
• 5⁻¹
• 5¹²
• 5

6⋅6⁷

• 6⁸
• 6⁶
• 6⁷
• 6

Anything raised to a power of zero is always: 

• 0
• 1
• itself
• negative

According to exponent rules, when we divide the expressions we _______ the exponents.

• add
• subtract
• multiply
• divide

8⁷ ⁄ 8²

• 8⁵
• 8⁹
• 8¹⁴
• 1⁵

3⁻⁴

• 1 ⁄ 3⁴
• -3⁴
• 3⁴
• 1 ⁄ 12

(34x⁵y⁶z^-7)⁰

• 34x⁵y⁶ / z⁷
• 34x⁵y⁶ / x^-7
• 0
• 1

(3y⁴)²

• 9y⁸
• 9y⁶
• 6y⁸
• 6y⁶
