Q. Simplify. Assume all variables are positive.r712⋅r79Write 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 Property: Identify the equation and apply the property of exponents for multiplication.When multiplying two exponents with the same base, we add the exponents: am×an=am+n.r712×r79=r712+79.
Add Exponents: Add the exponents. 712+79=7(12+9)=721.
Apply Exponents to Base: Apply the sum of the exponents to the base r.r712×r79=r721.
Simplify Exponent: Simplify the exponent if possible.Since 21/7 is a division of two integers where the numerator is divisible by the denominator, we can simplify it to a whole number.21/7=3.
Write Final Answer: Write the final answer with a positive exponent. r721=r3.
