You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I think you mean the property where if the bases are the same and you multiply them you add the exponents.
x%5E2%2Ax%5E3=x%5E%282%2B3%29=x%5E5
You may be talking about if you raise something to a power that is already being raised to a power, you multiply the exponents:
%28x%5E2%29%5E3=x%5E%282%2A3%29=x%5E6
I hope that helps.
Happy Calculating!!!!
