Q. Simplify. Assume all variables are positive.\newlinec116c136c^{\frac{11}{6}} \cdot c^{\frac{13}{6}}\newlineWrite your answer in the form AA or AB\frac{A}{B}, where AA and BB are constants or variable expressions that have no variables in common. All exponents in your answer should be positive.\newline______
  1. Identify and Apply Property: Identify the equation and apply the property of exponents for multiplication.\newlineWhen multiplying two exponents with the same base, we add the exponents: am×an=am+na^m \times a^n = a^{m+n}.\newlinec116×c136=c(116+136)c^{\frac{11}{6}} \times c^{\frac{13}{6}} = c^{\left(\frac{11}{6} + \frac{13}{6}\right)}.
  2. Add Exponents: Add the exponents (116)(\frac{11}{6}) and (136)(\frac{13}{6}).116+136=11+136=246\frac{11}{6} + \frac{13}{6} = \frac{11 + 13}{6} = \frac{24}{6}.
  3. Simplify Fraction: Simplify the fraction 24/624/6. 24/6=424/6 = 4.
  4. Write Final Expression: Write the final simplified expression using the simplified exponent. c246=c4c^{\frac{24}{6}} = c^4.
