Here we learn (with the help of several examples) how to multiply and divide two exponential terms with the same base. The key to
approaching the multiplication and division of two exponential terms is to remember
the rules.
For multiplication, you should follow the rule am an = am
+ n. For example, 34 x 32 = 34 + 2 =
36.
On the other hand, when two numbers with the same base are divided, follow the rule
am/an = am - n. For example, 34/32
= 34 - 2 = 32. In the situation of "power of a power", the
rule is (am)n = am x n. For example, (34)2
= 34 x 2 = 38.

As many of you know, Winpossible's online courses use a unique teaching method where
an instructor explains the concepts in any given area to you in his/her own voice
and handwriting, just like you see your teacher explain things to you on a blackboard
in your classroom. This particular mini-lesson includes the teacher's instruction,
practice questions as well as end-of-lesson quizzes for practice. As we mentioned
above, you can
enroll in our online course in Algebra I by clicking here.
The format of Winpossible's online courses is also very suitable for teachers who
are using an interactive whiteboard such as Smartboard on Promethean in their classrooms,
because the course lessons can be easily displayed on such interactive whiteboards.
