Let's look at each expression and apply the relevant exponent rules to simplify them. Here's the completed table with explanations for each rule used:
| Expression | Simplified Form | Exponent Rule Used | |--------------------------|----------------------|-------------------------------------------------------| | \(11801122=1158\) | \(1158\) | Product Rule (adding exponents) | | \(6^{-12}9^{-15} = 9^{15}6^{12}\) | \(9^{15}6^{12}\) | Negative Integer Exponent Rule (moving to the numerator) | | \((163)^{9} = 162^{7}\) | \(162^{7}\) | Power Rule (multiplying exponents) |
Explanation of Exponent Rules:
-
Product Rule: When multiplying the same base, add the exponents: \(a^m \cdot a^n = a^{m+n}\).
-
Quotient Rule: When dividing the same base, subtract the exponents: \(a^m / a^n = a^{m-n}\).
-
Power Rule: When raising a power to another power, multiply the exponents: \((a^m)^n = a^{m \cdot n}\).
-
Negative Integer Exponent Rule: A negative exponent indicates a reciprocal: \(a^{-n} = 1/a^n\).
-
Zero Power Rule: Any non-zero number raised to the power of zero equals one: \(a^0 = 1\).
