of exponents we need to follow the laws of the

land Great powers exist in this land So someone needs
- 00:27
teo You know rule with an iron fist We tourists
- 00:31
need to tread carefully First multiplying exponents with the same
- 00:35
base follows the rule x to the a Times x
- 00:38
to the b is x to the a plus b
- 00:41
So apply this rule the equation right here So export
- 00:44
that's fifth is x to the ninth and then exit
- 00:48
ninth over X squared is x to the y Well
- 00:51
dividing exponents with the same base follows the rule exit
- 00:55
over exit b is x to the a minus b
- 00:58
So we just apply this rule to our new equation
- 01:00
Here we get nine minus two or x to the

nine months to r x to the seventh What We're

looking for the value of the resulting exponents So well
