One of the exponent laws I’ve learned this week is multiplying and dividing exponents with the same base.
Multiplication
Rule) When multiplying two exponents with the same base, you add the exponents.
Example
- 1² · 1²
- = 1(² ᐩ ²)
- = 1⁴
Division
Rule) When dividing two exponents with the same base, you subtract the exponents.
Example
- 1² ÷ 1²
- = 1
