The question is "Using complete sentences, explain the steps in simplifying the expression of each student and identify who is correct"

9. skullpatrol

That is a much better question :)

10. LaynaMae

I am sorry , I forgot to snip the actual question :P

11. skullpatrol

Ok, so you need to know your "rules of exponents"

12. LaynaMae

I wish I knew those rules .. :c

13. skullpatrol

$$\huge a^m*a^n=a^{m+n}$$

14. skullpatrol

$$\text{To multiply two powers having the same base, you add the exponents.}$$

15. skullpatrol

$\huge \sqrt[n]{a}=a^{\frac{1}{n}}$

16. skullpatrol

$$\huge (a^m)^n=a^{mn}$$ To find a power of a power, you multipy the exponents.

17. LaynaMae

@LaynaMae Hi :)

23. skullpatrol

$$\huge (ab)^m=a^mb^m$$To find the power of a product, you find the power of each factor and then multiply.
