Multiplicative Exponent Rules

The product rule says that when you are multiplying two exponents with the same base, you keep the base and ________ the exponents

• Add

• Subtract

• Multiply

• Divide

The power of a power rule says that when an exponential expression is raised to a power (as shown above), you should _________ the inner and outer exponents

• add

• subtract

• multiply

• divide

Simplify and leave in exponent form
                            8²/8⁵

• 8³

• 8^2-5 = 8^-3 = 1/8³

• 8^-3

• 8⁷

                                   4³⋅4⁵

• 4⁸

• 16⁸

• 4¹⁵

• 16¹⁵

Simplify         m¹²/ m³

• m^12-3  = m⁹

• m^12/3  = m⁴

• m^-9

• -m⁹

  simplify    7^-2

• 1/7² = 1/49

• -49

• -14

• 1/14
