How to use the power property of exponents

The video tutorial explains the rule of exponents, focusing on the power rule. It describes how a number raised to an exponent and then raised to another exponent results in multiplying the exponents while keeping the base the same. An example is provided, demonstrating that 10 squared raised to the third power equals 10 to the sixth power. The tutorial concludes by emphasizing the importance of following mathematical rules.

What does the power rule of exponents state?

• Multiply the exponents together.

• Add the exponents together.

• Subtract the exponents.

• Divide the exponents.

If you have 5 squared raised to the power of 4, what is the result according to the power rule?

• 5 to the power of 8

• 5 to the power of 6

• 5 to the power of 9

• 5 to the power of 10

Why is it important to keep the same base when applying the power rule?

• To avoid confusion.

• To ensure the result is accurate.

• To follow the rules of addition.

• To make calculations easier.

What is the result of 10 squared raised to the power of 3?

• 10 to the power of 8

• 10 to the power of 7

• 10 to the power of 6

• 10 to the power of 5

What is the key takeaway from the conclusion of the lesson?

• Ignore the power rule.

• Always add exponents.

• Follow the rules as instructed.

• Change the base if needed.
