if you had a question like b^2 *b^2 * b^2, do you add the exponents together and get b^6? what if you had the same exact question but involved addition instead of multiplication?
-
yes, you are correct.
if it were b^2+b^2=b^2 you would say 3b^2
if it were b^2+b^2=b^2 you would say 3b^2
-
yes you would add the exponents. if it was addition i think b^2+b^2+b^2 is simplified as 3B^2

well lets find out
hypothetically if b= 2
2^2 * 2^2* 2^2 = 4*4*4
or the way you wrote it 2^6 or 2*2*2*2*2*2
are they the same?
hint they are :P
