Select all the expressions that are equivalent to 8^3 * 8^4. Multi-select Choices: (A)1/8^-7 (B)1/8^7 (C)8^7 (D)1/8^12

Apply Exponent Rule: Apply the rule of exponents for multiplication. When multiplying powers with the same base, you add the exponents. 8^3 * 8^4 = 8^(3 + 4) = 8^7Compare with Choices: Compare the result from Step 1 with each of the given choices. (A) 1/8^-7 is equivalent to 8^7 because the negative exponent means the reciprocal. (B) 1/8^7 is not equivalent to 8^7 because it is the reciprocal of 8^7. (C) 8^7 is equivalent to 8^7, which is the result we obtained in Step 1. (D) 1/8^12 is not equivalent to 8^7 because it is the reciprocal of 8^12, not 8^7.

Q. Select all the expressions that are equivalent to

8^3 \times 8^4

\newline

Multi-select Choices:

\newline

(A)

\frac{1}{8^{-7}}

\newline

(B)

\frac{1}{8^7}

\newline

(C)

8^7

\newline

(D)

\frac{1}{8^{12}}

Apply Exponent Rule: Apply the rule of exponents for multiplication. $\newline$ When multiplying powers with the same base, you add the exponents. $\newline$ $8^3 \times 8^4 = 8^{(3 + 4)} = 8^7$
Compare with Choices: Compare the result from Step $1$ with each of the given choices. $\newline$ (A) $\frac{1}{8^{-7}}$ is equivalent to $8^7$ because the negative exponent means the reciprocal. $\newline$ (B) $\frac{1}{8^7}$ is not equivalent to $8^7$ because it is the reciprocal of $8^7$ . $\newline$ (C) $8^7$ is equivalent to $8^7$ , which is the result we obtained in Step $1$ . $\newline$ (D) $\frac{1}{8^{12}}$ is not equivalent to $8^7$ because it is the reciprocal of $8^{12}$ , not $8^7$ .
