This math topic focuses on solving for unknown exponents using the Power Law. The problems involve rewriting expressions of exponentiated variables raised to particular powers and equating them to the same bases with unknown exponents. Students are tasked with finding these unknown exponents through simplification and application of exponent rules, specifically involving powers raised to other powers (i.e., \((b^n)^m = b^{n \cdot m}\)), and expressing the results in reduced form. Multiple choices for the correct exponent expressions are provided for each question. This set of problems is an introductory exercise in manipulating and understanding powers in algebraic contexts.
