Exponent Rules Basic

According to exponent rules, when raising a power to a power _______ the exponents.

• add

• subtract

• multiply

• divide

(x⁸)(x^-5)

• x ^-40

• x ^-13

• x¹³

• x³

(-4r⁵)(2r⁸)

• -8r¹³

• -2r¹³

• -8r⁴⁰

• -2y⁴⁰

(2x⁷)³

• 6x²¹

• 8x²¹

• 6x¹⁰

• 8x¹⁰

Simplify the expression.

• ²²

• ³⁰

• 6²²

• 6³⁰

Evaluate using the quotient rule:

• a⁸b¹³

• a²b⁷

• a¹⁵b³⁰

The Quotient Rule states: keep the base the same and __________ the exponents.

• multiply

• add

• subtract

• divide

Without a calculator, evaluate:
1^3,412 =

• 3,412

• 3,411

• 0

• 1
