Q. Simplify. Express your answer using positive exponents.7u9⋅2u2⋅7u
Group Terms with Same Base: Group the coefficients and powers that have the same base.We have the expression 7u9⋅2u2⋅7u. We can group the coefficients (7, 2, and 7) and the powers of u (u9, u2, and u) together.7u9⋅2u2⋅7u=(7⋅2⋅7)⋅(u9⋅u2⋅u)
Multiply Coefficients: Multiply the coefficients.Now we multiply the coefficients 7, 2, and 7 together.7×2×7=14×7=98
Combine Exponents: Combine the powers of u using the property of exponents.When multiplying powers with the same base, we add the exponents.u9×u2×u=u9+2+1=u12
Write in Simplest Form: Write the expression in simplest form.Now we combine the results from Step 2 and Step 3 to write the expression in simplest form.7u92u27u=98×u12=98u12
