Simplify. Assume all variables are positive.b31⋅b32Write your answer in the form A or BA, where A and B are constants or variable expressions that have no variables in common. All exponents in your answer should be positive.______
Q. Simplify. Assume all variables are positive.b31⋅b32Write your answer in the form A or BA, where A and B are constants or variable expressions that have no variables in common. All exponents in your answer should be positive.______
Identify Equation and Apply Property: Identify the equation and apply the property of exponents for multiplication.When multiplying powers with the same base, we add the exponents.b31×b32=b31+32
Add Exponents: Add the exponents.31+32=33
Simplify Exponents: Simplify the sum of the exponents. 33=1
Apply Exponent to Base: Apply the simplified exponent to the base b.b33=b1
Simplify Expression: Simplify the expression b1. b1 is simply b, since any number raised to the power of 1 is itself.
