Rules of Exponents for Multiplication of Polynomials
Rule #1: Rule of Exponent 1
If a is a real number, then a = a1.
This rule states that when a variable has no exponent, its exponent is one (1).
Examples:
|
- 51 = 5
- (-6)1 = -6
- (3a3b4)1 = 3a3b4
Rule #2: Multiplication of Powers
If a is any real number and m, n are positive integers, then
am · an = am + n
This means that when we multiply exponents with equal bases, we add the exponents.
Examples:
- x7 · x8 = x7 + 8 = x15
|
- y4 · y6 = y4 + 6 = y10
(-4)2 · (-4) = (
