Question

True or False. When multiplying two like bases, we add the exponents.

Answer 1

Hi.

If I had to say, I think I would say that is True.

Sorry if I'm wrong, but I really think it's true...

Answer 2

The answer is true. If you're multiplying exponents with like bases, you add the exponents together. 

Example: 7⁵ · 7⁶ = 7¹¹

However, if you were to have a problem that has different bases, you'd multiply the base numbers first, then keep the exponent on your product.

Example: 9⁴ · 3⁴ = 27⁴

After getting your product, you need to "simplify" your answer.

27⁴ = 531, 441

I hope I helped :)
