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
