• they are added together

• they are subtracted

• they are divided

• they are multiplied

Billy was asked to solve 3⁵∙3⁴. He got 9²⁰. What error did he make?

• When he multiplies exponents, he is supposed to add the base and the exponent

• divide

When a power is raised to a power, you _____ the exponents.

• multiply

• subtract

• divide

• add

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