When raising a power to a power, keep the base and ________ the exponents

• postive

• subtract

• multiply

• divide

(2⁸)²

• 2¹⁶

• 2¹⁰

• 2⁶

• 2⁴

Rewrite the expression as a power.

• 9x⁸

(xy²z³)⁴

• x⁴y⁸z¹²

• x⁴y⁶z⁷

• x⁵y⁶z⁷

The power of a power rule says that when an exponential expression is raised to a power (as shown above), you should _________ the inner and outer exponents

• add

• subtract

• multiply

• divide

When raising a product to a power, __________ the exponents to each factor in the product. Then simplify the expression.

• distribute

• add

• multiply

• divide
