Rules for Exponents Multiplication and Power

According to exponent rules, when we multiply two power with the same base we _______ the exponents.
Example: c⁶ ⋅ c⁴

• add

• subtract

• multiply

• divide

According to exponent rules, when we raise the power to a power we _______ the exponents.
Example: (d²)⁵

• add

• subtract

• multiply

• divide

Anything raised to a power of zero is always: 

• 0

• 1

• itself

• negative

(2⁸)²

• 2¹⁶

• 2¹⁰

• 2⁶

• 2⁴

Match the following!

• SUBTRACT the exponents

• When you have anything raised to the power of 0...

• MULTIPLY the exponents

• When you multiply...

• ADD the exponents

• When you have a power to a power...

• it always EQUALS 1

• When you divide...
