Describe two laws of exponents and provide an example illustrating each law. Explain how to simplify your expression.


How do the laws work with rational exponents? Provide a third expression to simplify that includes rational (fractional) exponents

what is your question? I will be happy to critique your thinking.
I don't understand, I'm struggling in math and I thought if I get an understanding of what kind of problems I was looking for, it would make things easier.
How about x^3 * x^4 = x^7

Can you not describe the rule I used by considering the meaning of powers such as x^3 ?

how about (x3)4 = x12 ?

Could you describe that law?

the basic laws of exponents work with any exponents, whether whole numbers, integers, rational or irrational.
