No, you add the powers together.
It is the exponent and tells you how many times the base is to be multiplied.
when two numbers are multiplied together that are exponents you multiply the bases amd add the exponents the relationship would simply be that the product exponents are the sum of the exponents being multiplied in the question
You can multiply 4 and -4 together to get -16.
Actually, a base and exponent are not multiplied together. Rather, the exponent indicates the "power" of the base number, the number of times the base is to be multiplied by itself. For example the expression 23, where the base is 2 and the exponent is 3, represents the product of 3 2s; that is, 2 x 2 x 2, equaling 8. Powers of zero are a special case. By convention, and to support exponent operations, any number (excepting zero) to the power of zero equals one. Therefore the number with a base of 34 and exponent of 0 is written as 340, and 340 = 1.
Prime numbers are multiplied together in the same way as any integers may be multiplied together.
Multiply by is the usual form. Multiply 3 by 4 to get 12. If there are several numbers being multiplied then multiply .... together may be used... multiply 3, 4 and 5 together to get 60.
Product= the total of two integers multiplied together Sum= The total of two integers added together
85 multiply by 5
-30
You simply count the number of eights that are being multiplied together, and that is your exponent. In this case that would be: 8⁵
It's the number of times you multiply a number by itself. So, 2^4 power would be four 2's multiplied together. So 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 which would be 16.
The exponent shows how many times the base is used as a factor.
