Q. Simplify. Assume all variables are positive.r45⋅r47Write 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.r45×r47=r45+47.
Add Exponents: Add the exponents.45+47=4(5+7).
Perform Addition: Perform the addition. 5+7=12.
Write Sum as Exponent: Write the sum of the exponents as a single exponent. 12/4=3.
Apply Sum to Base: Apply the sum of the exponents to the base r. r12/4=r3.
