Q1
Which of the following statements about exponents is incorrect?
a^(m+n) = a^m * a^n
a^(m-n) = a^m / a^n
a^m * b^m = (ab)^m
a^m + a^n = a^(m+n)
Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions
Which of the following statements about exponents is incorrect?
Steps
Concepts
Step 1: Understand what exponents are. Exponents show how many times a number (the base) is multiplied by itself.
Step 2: Review the properties of exponents. For example, a^m * a^n = a^(m+n) is correct, meaning you add the exponents when multiplying.
Step 3: Look at the statement a^m + a^n = a^(m+n). This suggests that you can add the exponents when adding the bases, which is not true.
Step 4: Conclude that the statement a^m + a^n = a^(m+n) is incorrect because addition of exponents does not work like multiplication.
