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.______
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: Identify the equation and apply the product of powers property.The product of powers property states that when multiplying like bases, you add the exponents: am×an=am+n.So, r712×r79=r712+79.
Apply Product of Powers Property: Add the exponents.712+79=7(12+9)=721.
Add Exponents: Simplify the exponent. 721 is equal to 3, so r721=r3.
Simplify Exponent: Write the final answer.The simplified form of r12/7×r9/7 is r3.
