Simplify. Assume all variables are positive.b511⋅b512Write 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.b511⋅b512Write 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 Property: Identify the equation and apply the property of exponents for multiplying with the same base: bm×bn=b(m+n).
Apply Exponent Rule: We have: b511⋅b512. Add the exponents since the bases are the same.b511+512=b523.
Final Simplification: The expression b523 is already simplified and has a positive exponent. There is no need to simplify further.
