Q. Evaluate the left hand side to find the value of a in the equation in simplest form.x21x6=xaAnswer:
Exponents Addition Property: We are given the equation x1/2×x6=xa and we need to find the value of a. According to the properties of exponents, when we multiply two expressions with the same base, we add their exponents.Calculation: (1/2)+6=6+1/2=6.5 or 13/2
Calculation of Exponents Sum: Now that we have added the exponents, we can equate the sum to a, since the bases are the same and the equation is x1/2×x6=xa. Calculation: a=6.5 or a=213
