 1. Use the laws on exponents for multiplication and division in simplifying the following:
;
a) 12m^3 ● 6m^7 = 72m^10; add exponents when you multiply
:
b) (6x^4 + x^3)x^5 = 6x^9 + x^8
:
c) (5y)^4 = 5^4*y^4 = 625y^4
:
d) 
; divided the 2 into 8
Subtract exponents when you divide, we want our solution to have positive exponents
 = =  = 
:
e)  =  =; when you raise one exponent to another exponent, you multiply
