How do you multiply an "number" with powers for example a^3 * a^6

When multiplying powers: we add the powers together (3+6) so we get a^9 When dividing powers: we subtract the powers so a^6/a^3 =(6-3)= a^3 When adding or subtracting them we do not change the power. We must leave it in the form given.
