Describe two laws of exponents and provide an example illustrating each law. -In multiplying, we can add the exponents as long as the base is the same ex. 3^2 x 3^4= 3^2+4 -To raise a power to a power, multiply the exponents ex. (3^2)^4= 3^2*4 Explain how to simplify your expression. -Convert to an exponential expression, use math to simplify the exponent, and convert back to radical expression when appropriate How do the laws work with rational exponents? -When using radical exponents, simplify the exponent after coverting to exponential exression, rather than simplifying the expression. Provide the class with a third expression to simplify that includes rational (fractional) exponents. 4^2/3 *4^1/3
