The Product Rule of Exponents
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
The product rule of exponents states that multiplying powers of the same base adds the exponents: aᵐ · aⁿ = aᵐ⁺ⁿ.
Show
2³ · 2² stacks five factors of 2, so it equals 2⁵ = 32.
Watch for
The bases must match; 2³ · 5² adds nothing.
Builds on
- Nothing — this is a starting point.
Unlocks
- Nothing yet depends on this.
