Question
Simplify each expression using the properties for exponents.(a) $x^{4} \cdot x^{2}$ (b) $8^{9 x} \cdot 8^{3}$ (c) $03 z^{25} \cdot 5 z^{8}$ (d) $y \cdot y^{3} \cdot y^{5}$
Step 1
According to the product rule of exponents, when we multiply two exponents with the same base, we add the exponents. So, we add 4 and 2 to get 6. Therefore, the simplified expression is $x^{6}$. Show more…
