Product Rule - Adding Exponents - YourTeacher.com

For a complete lesson on the product rule, go to http://www.yourteacher.com - 1000+ online math lessons featuring a personal math teacher inside every lesson! In this lesson, students learn the product rule, which states that when multiplying two powers that have the same base, add the exponents. For example, x^4 times x^3 = x^7. To multiply 6s^3 times 3s^6, multiply the coefficients and add the exponents, to get 18s^9. If there is no exponent on the variable, it can be given an exponent of 1. For example, x can be thought of as x^1.

@Shorty20122012 Relating to coefficients, no. But the title is "Adding Exponents", and he does indeed add the exponents together.

@TheEssGeee No he didn't mean that if he said a7 plus a4 that does not give a11, however a7 times a4 does give a11 he made no mistake. He was only saying when you times you pretend to add them. He was not wrong.
