Worked algebra example
x³ × x⁵ / x² = x^(3+5−2) = x⁶. The final exponent is 6.
Key formulas and common mistakes
Same base: xᵃ × xᵇ = xᵃ⁺ᵇ, xᵃ/xᵇ = xᵃ⁻ᵇ, and (xᵃ)ᵇ = xᵃᵇ (x ≠ 0 when dividing).
Frequently asked questions
Do you add exponents when multiplying?
Yes, but only when the bases match. Divide same-base powers by subtracting exponents.
What happens to an exponent in parentheses?
When a power is raised to another power, multiply the exponents.
