1. Like Bases:
When dealing with numbers or variables raised to the same power, they are known as like bases. For example, 2^3 and 5^3 are like bases because they both have the same exponent of 3.
2. Product:
In mathematics, the product refers to the result of multiplying two or more numbers or variables together. For example, the product of 2 and 3 is 6, written as 2 * 3 = 6.
3. Exponent Rule: Multiplying like bases:
When multiplying like bases with the same exponent, you can add the exponents together. For example, if you have 2^3 * 2^4, you can add the exponents 3 and 4 to get 2^7. So, 2^3 * 2^4 = 2^(3+4) = 2^7.
