  5. Multiplication Laws In General Note: Bases must be the same!

  6. A few examples

  7. First Law • xm*xn = xm+n • Notice that the bases have to be the same. • Find x2*x3 • Find x3y*x4y7 • Find z2x5y9*zx7y4

  8. Multiplication Laws Now, what about powers of powers? Example:

  9. Multiplication Laws In General

  11. The Third law • (xm)n = xmn • Find (x4)5 • Find (x3y9)8 • Find (2x3y4)3

  12. Multiplication Laws Finally, how do I deal with powers of a product? Example
