Question

I need help with number 35

Answer 1

Answer:

Step 1       Distributive Property

Step 2      Associative Property

Step 3      Multiplication Rule

Step 4      Zero Exponent Rule    

Step 5      Definition of an Exponent

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate or simplify expressions with exponents, we use exponent rules.  

1. An exponent is only a short cut for multiplication. It simplifies how we write the expression.

2. Multiplication Rule: When we multiply terms with the same bases, we add exponents.

3. Division Rule: When we divide terms with the same bases, we subtract exponents.

4. Zero Exponent Rule: When we have a base to the exponent of 0, it is 1.

5. Negative Exponent Rule: A negative exponent creates a fraction.

6. Power to a Power Rule: When we raise an exponent to an exponent, we multiply exponents.

7. Distributive Property: When we have exponents with parenthesis, we apply it to everything in the parenthesis.
