What are the addition and subtraction exponents

Answers (1)

best_answer

Adding exponents and subtracting exponents really doesn’t involve a rule. If a number is raised to a power, add it to another number raised to a power (with either a different base or different exponent) by calculating the result of the exponent term and then directly adding this to the other. When you’re subtracting exponents, the same conclusion applies: simply calculate the result if you can and then perform the subtraction as usual. If both the exponents and the bases match, you can add and subtract them like any other matching symbols in algebra. For example:

x^y+x^y=2 x^y ext and 3 x^y-2 x^y=x^y
