Using the power rule with a negative power to simplify an expression

The video tutorial explains how to handle exponents in mathematical expressions. It starts by discussing the multiplication of exponents by adding their powers. Then, it covers the concept of an exponent being raised to another power, which involves multiplying the exponents. The tutorial also addresses how to deal with negative exponents by converting them into positive exponents using their reciprocal. The video concludes with a summary of these concepts.

What is the result when you multiply exponents with the same base?

• You divide the powers.

• You multiply the powers.

• You add the powers.

• You subtract the powers.

How do you simplify an exponent raised to another power?

• Multiply the exponents.

• Subtract the exponents.

• Add the exponents.

• Divide the exponents.

What is the result of raising 2 to the power of 5 and then multiplying by -2?

• -10

• 10

• -5

• 5

How can you convert a negative exponent into a positive one?

• By adding 1 to the exponent.

• By subtracting 1 from the exponent.

• By multiplying the base by -1.

• By using the reciprocal of the base.

What is the reciprocal of P to the 10th power?

• P to the -10th power

• 1 / P to the 10th power

• 10 / P

• P to the 10th power
