And then we will put 1/8 to the power of 8

[@denisablai8525]

And it's equal to 1/64

[@justins5225]

Under what circumstances do you add exponents instead of multiplying them? Thanks

[@immortalgaming8719]

Same question here

[@p_t7]

When it is in the form of : a^x times a^y. This is just (a^x)^y.

Think of it as like the rule is going one layer down. For power to a power, you multiply the exponents. For power times a power, you add the exponents.

When one base have to exponent one exponent is inside the bracket and other is outside the bracket,both the exponent will be multiplied to get single exponent

[@7shauryakhurana]

Then it will be 1/8 ⁸

[@ivanderchannathan7441]

I think the right one is 1/x⁸
