Use ^ (Shift 6) for multiply, not x
============
6^-4 * 6^7
Add the exponents
= 6%5E%28-4%2B7%29+=+6%5E3
------
10^8 * 10^-5
Same as the 1st one.
x^7 * x^3
Same as the 1st one.
---
(x^-2)^3
Multiply the exponents.
= x^(-2*3) = x^-6
---------
Y^-12 * y^5
Same as the 1st one.
-----------------
7^2 Divided by 7^-4
Subtract the exponents when dividing.
= 7%5E%282%2B4%29+=+7%5E6
-------
Or 7^2/7^4
= %287%5E2%2F7%5E4%29%2A%287%5E4%2F7%5E4%29+=+7%5E6%2F7%5E0+=+7%5E6
