2^7
2^12
2^1
2^0
When multiplying powers with the same base, you add the exponents. Thus, 2^3 * 2^4 equals 2^(3+4) which simplifies to 2^7.
What is the value of 5^0?
1
5
0
Undefined
Any nonzero number raised to the power of 0 equals 1. This is a fundamental rule of exponents.
Simplify (3^2)^3.
3^6
3^5
3^8
9^3
When raising a power to another power, multiply the exponents. Here, (3^2)^3 equals 3^(2*3), which is 3^6.
Simplify the expression: 10^2 ÷ 10^1.
10
10^2
10^3

When dividing exponential terms with the same base, subtract the exponents. Thus, 10^2 ÷ 10^1 simplifies to 10^(2-1) = 10.
Which rule correctly describes (ab)^n?
a^n * b^n
a^n + b^n
(a^n)(b)
(a * n)(b * n)
The power of a product rule states that raising a product to an exponent distributes the exponent to each factor. Therefore, (ab)^n is equivalent to a^n * b^n.
Simplify the expression: 3^3 * 3^(-2).

1
9
3^5
For expressions with the same base, add the exponents: 3 + (-2) equals 1, so 3^3 * 3^(-2) simplifies to 3^1, which is 3.
What is the simplified form of (4^-1)^3?
4^-3
4^3
1/4
4^-2
When raising a power to another power, multiply the exponents. Thus, (4^-1)^3 equals 4^(-1*3) = 4^-3.
If 2^x = 16, what is the value of x?
2
3
4
8
Since 16 is equal to 2^4, setting 2^x equal to 16 gives x = 4. This follows directly by comparing exponents with the same base.
Simplify: (a^3 * a^2) ÷ a^4.
a
a^0
a^2
a^4
By multiplying a^3 and a^2, add the exponents to get a^5. Dividing by a^4 subtracts the exponent, resulting in a^(5-4) which is a.
What is the value of (-3)^2?
9
-9
6
-6
A negative number raised to an even exponent results in a positive product. Therefore, (-3)^2 equals 9.
Which property is used to simplify the expression: (xy)^5 = x^5 * y^5?
Power of a product rule
Quotient rule
Change of base rule
Power of a power rule
The expression (xy)^5 is simplified by using the power of a product rule, which states that each factor in the product is raised to the exponent separately.
Evaluate: 3^3 ÷ 3^2.
3
9
1/3
27
Subtract the exponents when dividing powers with the same base: 3^3 ÷ 3^2 equals 3^(3-2), which is 3.
Simplify: 5^-1 * 5^3.
5^2
5^-2
5^4
5
Adding the exponents when multiplying with the same base gives: -1 + 3 = 2. Hence, 5^-1 * 5^3 simplifies to 5^2.
Rewrite the expression 27^(2/3) in simplest form.
9
3
27
√27
Express 27 as 3^3 so that 27^(2/3) becomes (3^3)^(2/3) = 3^(3*(2/3)) = 3^2, which equals 9.
Simplify this expression: (2^4 * 2^2) ÷ 2^3.
2^3
2^2
2^4
2^8
Multiply 2^4 and 2^2 by adding the exponents to get 2^6, then subtract the exponent in the denominator: 6 - 3 equals 3. The simplified result is 2^3.
Solve for x: 4^(x+1) = 64.
2
3
4
1
Recognize that 64 can be written as 4^3. Equate the exponents: x + 1 = 3, which gives x = 2.
If 10^(2x) = 1000, what is the value of x?
3/2
1/3
3
5/2
Since 1000 is equal to 10^3, set 10^(2x) equal to 10^3 to obtain 2x = 3. Dividing both sides by 2 yields x = 3/2.
Simplify the expression: (2^3 * 5^3)^(1/3).
10
2^3 * 5^3
8 * 125
2 * 5^3
Apply the exponent rule by distributing the 1/3 exponent: (2^3)^(1/3) becomes 2 and (5^3)^(1/3) becomes 5. Multiplying these results gives 10.
Express the equation 27^x = 81 in terms of base 3 and solve for x.
4/3
3/4
81/27
1
Write 27 as 3^3 and 81 as 3^4. Then the equation becomes (3^3)^x = 3^4, which simplifies to 3^(3x) = 3^4. Equating the exponents gives 3x = 4, so x = 4/3.
Evaluate and simplify: (16^(3/4))^2.
64
16
32
128
Express 16 as 2^4, so 16^(3/4) becomes (2^4)^(3/4) which simplifies to 2^3 = 8. Raising 8 to the power of 2 results in 64.

  5. Grasp the Negative Exponent Rule - A negative exponent flips your base into a reciprocal: a❻ᵝ = 1/aᵝ. So 2❻³ becomes 1/2³ = 1/8, like turning your fraction inside out. Embrace negatives - they're just exponents in disguise! byjus.com
  6. Explore the Power of a Product Rule - When raising a product to a power, distribute that exponent to each factor. For instance, (2·3)² = 2²·3² = 4·9 = 36. It's an easy way to break big problems into bite‑sized pieces! cuemath.com
  7. Understand the Power of a Quotient Rule - Raising a fraction to a power applies the exponent to both numerator and denominator. For example, (2/3)² = 2²/3² = 4/9. This rule keeps your answers clean and fraction-friendly. cuemath.com
  8. Recognize Fractional Exponents as Roots - A 1/n exponent means you're taking the n-th root: a¹/❿ = ❿√a. So 8¹/³ = ❿√8 = 2. Fractional exponents are just roots wearing exponent hats! byjus.com
  9. Combine Exponent Rules - Simplify complex expressions by mixing rules in one go. Example: (2³×2²)/2❴ = 2❽³❺²❻❴❾ = 2¹ = 2. It's like following a recipe - add, subtract, multiply your exponents step by step! onlinemathlearning.com
