Q. Rewrite the expression in the form bn.b4⋅b−41=
Using exponent property: To simplify the expression b4⋅b−41, we use the property of exponents that states when we multiply two powers with the same base, we add their exponents.So, b4⋅b−41=b4+(−41).
Performing addition of exponents: Now we perform the addition of the exponents: 4+(−(1)/(4))=4−1/4=16/4−1/4=15/4. So, b4∗b−(1)/(4)=b15/4.
