Exponents Rules - Examples, Exercises and Solutions

We use the power property to multiply terms with identical bases:

$a^m\cdot a^n=a^{m+n}$Keep in mind that this property is also valid for several terms in the multiplication and not just for two, for example for the multiplication of three terms with the same base we obtain:

$a^m\cdot a^n\cdot a^k=a^{m+n}\cdot a^k=a^{m+n+k}$When we use the mentioned power property twice, we could also perform the same calculation for four terms of the multiplication of five, etc.,

Let's return to the problem:

First keep in mind that:

$10=10^1$Keep in mind that all the terms of the multiplication have the same base, so we will use the previous property:

$10^1\cdot10^2\cdot10^{-4}\cdot10^{10}=10^{1+2-4+10}=10^9$

$$Therefore, the correct answer is option c.

To solve this problem, we'll focus on expressing the power $2^7$ as a series of multiplications.

• Step 1: Identify the given power expression $2^7$.
• Step 2: Convert $2^7$ into a product of repeated multiplication. This involves writing 2 multiplied by itself for a total of 7 times.
• Step 3: The expanded form of $2^7$ is $2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2$.

By comparing this expanded form with the provided choices, we see that the correct expression is:

$2\cdot2\cdot2\cdot2\cdot2\cdot2\cdot2$

Therefore, the solution to the problem is the expression that matches this expanded multiplication form, which is the choice $\text{1: } 2\cdot2\cdot2\cdot2\cdot2\cdot2\cdot2$.

To solve this problem, we will apply the rule of exponents:

• Any number raised to the power of 1 remains unchanged. Therefore, by the identity property of exponents, $10,000^1 = 10,000$.

Given the choices:

• $10,000 \cdot 10,000$: This is $10,000^2$.
• $10,000 \cdot 1$: Simplifying this expression yields 10,000, which is equivalent to $10,000^1$.
• $10,000 + 10,000$: This results in 20,000, not equivalent to $10,000^1$.
• $10,000 - 10,000$: This results in 0, not equivalent to $10,000^1$.

Therefore, the correct choice is $10,000 \cdot 1$, which simplifies to 10,000, making it equivalent to $10,000^1$.

Thus, the expression $10,000^1$ is equivalent to:

$10,000 \cdot 1$

We use the power law for multiplication within parentheses:

$(x\cdot y)^n=x^n\cdot y^n$

We apply it to the problem:

$(3\cdot4\cdot5)^4=3^4\cdot4^4\cdot5^4$

Therefore, the correct answer is option b.

Note:

From the formula of the power property mentioned above, we understand that it refers not only to two terms of the multiplication within parentheses, but also for multiple terms within parentheses.

To solve this exercise, first we note that 25 is the result of a power and we reduce it to a common base of 5.

$\sqrt{25}=5$$25=5^2$Now, we go back to the initial exercise and solve by adding the powers according to the formula:

$a^n\times a^m=a^{n+m}$

$5^4\times25=5^4\times5^2=5^{4+2}=5^6$

We use the formula:

$(a^m)^n=a^{m\times n}$

$(4^2)^3+(g^3)^4=4^{2\times3}+g^{3\times4}=4^6+g^{12}$

Let's keep in mind that the numerator and denominator of the fraction have terms with the same base, therefore we use the property of powers to divide between terms with the same base:

$\frac{b^m}{b^n}=b^{m-n}$We apply it in the problem:

$\frac{2^4}{2^3}=2^{4-3}=2^1$Remember that any number raised to the 1st power is equal to the number itself, meaning that:

$b^1=b$Therefore, in the problem we obtain:

$2^1=2$Therefore, the correct answer is option a.

Note that in the fraction and its denominator, there are terms with the same base, so we will use the law of exponents for division between terms with the same base:

$\frac{b^m}{b^n}=b^{m-n}$ Let's apply it to the problem:

$\frac{9^9}{9^3}=9^{9-3}=9^6$$$Therefore, the correct answer is b.

First, we recognize that 81 is a power of the number 3, which means that:

$3^4=81$We replace in the problem:

$\frac{81}{3^2}=\frac{3^4}{3^2}$Keep in mind that the numerator and denominator of the fraction have terms with the same base, therefore we use the property of powers to divide between terms with the same base:

$\frac{b^m}{b^n}=b^{m-n}$We apply it in the problem:

$\frac{3^4}{3^2}=3^{4-2}=3^2$$$Therefore, the correct answer is option b.

To solve the exercise we use the power property:$(a^n)^m=a^{n\cdot m}$

We use the property with our exercise and solve:

$(3^5)^4=3^{5\times4}=3^{20}$

We use the formula:

$(a^n)^m=a^{n\times m}$

Therefore, we obtain:

$6^{2\times13}=6^{26}$

We use the formula:

$(\frac{a}{b})^n=\frac{a^n}{b^n}$

$(\frac{2}{6})^3=(\frac{2}{2\times3})^3$

We simplify:

$(\frac{1}{3})^3=\frac{1^3}{3^3}$

$\frac{1\times1\times1}{3\times3\times3}=\frac{1}{27}$

We use the power property:

$X^0=1$We apply it to the problem:

$5^0=1$Therefore, the correct answer is C.

$(\frac{4^2}{7^4})^2=\frac{4^{2\times2}}{7^{4\times2}}=\frac{4^4}{7^8}$

We use the power property for a negative exponent:

$a^{-n}=\frac{1}{a^n}$We will write the fraction in parentheses as a negative power with the help of the previously mentioned power:

$\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{4^1}=4^{-1}$We return to the problem, where we obtained:

$\big(\frac{1}{4}\big)^{-1}=(4^{-1})^{-1}$We continue and use the power property of an exponent raised to another exponent:

$(a^m)^n=a^{m\cdot n}$And we apply it in the problem:

$(4^{-1})^{-1}=4^{-1\cdot-1}=4^1=4$Therefore, the correct answer is option d.
