Power of a product rule

Power of a product rule

We use the power of a product rule when there are more than one variables being multiplied together and raised to a power. The power of a product rule tells us that we can simplify a power of a power by multiplying the exponents and keeping the same base.
Basic Concepts: Using exponents to describe numbers, Exponent rules, Order of operations with exponents
Related Concepts: Exponents: Product rule (ax)(ay)=a(x+y) (a^x)(a^y)=a^{(x+y)}, Exponents: Division rule axay=a(x−y){a^x \over a^y}=a^{(x-y)}, Exponents: Power rule (ax)y=a(x⋅y) (a^x)^y = a^{(x\cdot y)}, Exponents: Negative exponents
