Product Rule of Exponents — Easy Worksheet 2

Grade 8 · MathSheets    Name: ____________________   Date: __________

Simplify. Multiply powers with the same base by adding the exponents.

How to solve

When you multiply powers with the same base, keep the base and add the exponents: x3 · x4 = x7, because that is (x · x · x)(x · x · x · x). With numbers in front, multiply the numbers and add the exponents of each letter separately: (3x4 y)(5x2 y3) = 15x6 y4.

Example

64 · 65 = 6 

Answer: 9

right so far
1. m2 · m3 = m 
2. b9 · b2 = b 
3. b2 · b8 = b 
4. x3 · x2 = x 
5. b8 · b4 = b 
6. m2 · m8 = m 
7. y7 · y2 = y 
8. b4 · b3 = b
