To generate the equivalent expression \( 314 \) from \( 353 - 9 \), the following properties of exponents are used:

  1. Property of Negative Exponents: This property states that \( a^{-n} = \frac{1}{a^n} \). In the expression \( 353 - 9 \), we interpret \( 53 \) as \( 5^3 \) and \( 9 \) as \( 3^2 \) to simplify.

  2. Product Rule of Exponents: This rule states that \( a^m \cdot a^n = a^{m+n} \). In our example, the subtraction is handled in a way that it leads to multiplication of powers.

Therefore, the answer would be:

The Property of Negative Exponents and the Product Rule of Exponents.
