Show transcript
When multiplying two terms, you can sometimes write this more simply.
If the powers have the same base, then the powers can be combined into a single power.
The exponent or index of the new power reflects this combination.
By studying the structure of multiplication, you can see how the index will change.
a^b × a^c = a^(b+c)
