Question 1056891: What is the difference between comparing exponential numbers with like bases and comparing those with unlike bases? Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Unless you can make the bases equal, you can't do much more. x^3+3y^2 can't be simplified.
x^3+3x^2 can be simplified by factoring out x^2 to get x^2(x+3)
One thing you can do with unlike bases and equal exponents:
x^2*y^2=(xy)^2
They can be put in parentheses and raised to the appropriate power.
