What's two laws of exponents and provide an example illustrating each law.

Question

How would you simplify the expression. How do the laws work with rational exponents?

Answer 1

one rule of exponents are the product rule, when you multiply like bases the exponents add  

 

(x²)*(x³) = x²⁺³ = x⁵

 

a second in the power rule, raising one exponent to a second, the exponents multiply 

 

(x²)³ = x^2*3 = x⁶
