Integral Exponents

You cannot simplify expressions that do not have like terms you would just write the expression over, for example 2d+4f=2d+4f.x^y and xy^ are not like terms because the exponent is not in the same places.xy and xyz are not the same and you cannot combine them because they are not like terms.m^ is the same as saying m*m*m*m*m*m*m.If the base is x the negative base would be -x, A real life scenario involving exponents would be if you have to order t-shirts for 5 classes of 15 students instead of adding 15+15+15+15+15 u only have to think 15^.
