The document you uploaded contains exercises on Exponent Laws. Here is a breakdown of the types of problems included:

  1. Basic Evaluation of Exponents:

    • Example: (23)3\left(-\frac{2}{3}\right)^3 or 23-2^3.
  2. Simplification Using Exponent Rules:

    • Example: Simplify (m)2(m)3(-m)^2(-m)^3 or 6a213a9\frac{6a^{21}}{3a^9}.
  3. Evaluations Involving Exponent Operations:

    • Example: 27439\frac{27^4}{39} and products like 85×42216\frac{85 \times 42}{216}.
  4. Finding Integral Values for Exponents:

    • Example: Find positive integral values for aa and bb in equations like 272=(3a)b27^2 = (3^a)^b.
  5. Simplifying Complex Exponent Expressions:

    • Example: Simplify xp+2qx4p3qx^{p + 2q} \cdot x^{4p - 3q} or x2ay2bxabya+b\frac{x^{2a} \cdot y^{2b}}{x^{a-b} \cdot y^{a+b}}.
  6. Working with Expressions Involving Multiple Terms:

    • Example: Simplify 64×15333×24\frac{64 \times 15^3}{33 \times 24} or 333×156×21253×993×81\frac{333 \times 15^6 \times 21}{25^3 \times 99^3 \times 81}.
  7. Simplifying Expressions with Negative Exponents:

    • Example: Simplify 21+2231\frac{2^{-1} + 2^{-2}}{3^{-1}} or (2x3)2w5x2\frac{(2x^3)^{-2}}{w^5x^2}.
  8. Combining Fractions and Exponents:

    • Example: Combine and simplify 3x32x2+4y43y\frac{3x^3}{2x^2} + \frac{4y^4}{3y}.

Would you like a detailed explanation or solution for any specific question?

Here are five related questions to expand your understanding:

  1. How do you apply exponent laws when multiplying expressions with the same base?
  2. What steps are involved in simplifying fractions with exponents?
  3. How do negative exponents affect the structure of an equation?
  4. How can you solve for unknown exponents in equations like ax=ba^x = b?
