3. California Standards NS2.3 Understand negative whole-number exponents. Multiply and divide expressions involving exponents with a common base . NS2.1 Multiply, divide, and simplify rational numbers by using exponent rules.
4. The following suggests a rule for multiplying powers with the same base. 2 4 • 2 2 = (2 • 2 • 2 • 2) • (2 • 2) = 2 6 a 3 • a 2 = ( a • a • a ) • ( a • a ) = a 5 Notice that the sum of the exponents in each expression equals the exponent in the answer: 4 + 2 = 6 and 3 + 2 = 5.

12. RAISING A POWER TO A POWER To see what happens when you raise a power to a power, use the order of operations. ( c 3 ) 2 = ( c ● c ● c ) 2 = ( c ● c ● c ) ● ( c ● c ● c ) = c 6 Show the power inside the parentheses. Show the power outside the parentheses. Simplify.
13. RAISING A POWER TO A POWER Reading Math (9 4 ) 5 is read as “nine to the fourth power, to the fifth power.”
