How to solve Grade 8 exponents problems

Real problems from these worksheets, solved one step at a time — the same explanations your child sees when practicing online.

  1. Example 1

    12⁸ × 12⁹ = 12ⁿ. What is n?

    1. Same base, multiplying: add the exponents: 8 + 9 = 17.
    2. So 12⁸ × 12⁹ = 12¹⁷, which means n = 17.

    Answer: 17

  2. Example 2

    Use the power rule to find the value of (4²)².

    1. Power of a power: multiply the exponents. (4²)² = 4⁴ (2 × 2 = 4).
    2. 4⁴ = 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 = 256.

    Answer: 256

  3. Example 3

    (11⁵)² × 11⁵ = 11ⁿ. What is n?

    1. Power of a power: multiply the exponents. (11⁵)² = 11¹⁰ (5 × 2 = 10).
    2. Same base, multiplying: add the exponents: 10 + 5 = 15.
    3. So (11⁵)² × 11⁵ = 11¹⁵, which means n = 15.

    Answer: 15
