Multiplying Exponents and Coefficients

The video tutorial explains how to multiply exponents by first multiplying the coefficients, if present, and then adding the exponents while keeping the base the same. It provides examples with and without coefficients, demonstrating the process step-by-step. The tutorial also covers special cases, such as when there are no coefficients or when the base is a variable.

What is the first step when multiplying exponents with coefficients?

• Multiply the coefficients

• Add the exponents

• Subtract the exponents

• Divide the coefficients

If there are no coefficients, what should you do with the base?

• Keep the base

• Change the base

• Remove the base

• Multiply the base

In the example 2^4 * 2^3, what is the resulting exponent?

• 8

• 6

• 5

• 7

How do you handle a variable base with no visible exponent?

• Assume the exponent is zero

• Assume the exponent is one

• Assume the exponent is two

• Assume the exponent is three

What is the result of 5^2 * 5^1?

• 5^4

• 5^1

• 5^2

• 5^3

When multiplying -3x^2 * 4x^5, what is the new coefficient?

• -12

• 12

• 7

• -7

In the expression -2 * -8, what is the product?

• 16

• -16

• 10

• -10

What does it mean when there are parentheses in an expression?

• Divide the numbers

• Multiply the numbers

• Subtract the numbers

• Add the numbers

If an exponent is not visible, what should you assume it to be?

• Two

• Three

• One

• Zero
