Q. Simplify. Assume all variables are positive.\newlines76×s136s^{\frac{7}{6}} \times s^{\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 Equation & Apply Rule: Identify the equation and apply the exponent multiplication rule.\newlineWhen multiplying two exponents with the same base, we add the exponents: am×an=am+na^m \times a^n = a^{m+n}.\newlines76×s136=s76+136s^{\frac{7}{6}} \times s^{\frac{13}{6}} = s^{\frac{7}{6} + \frac{13}{6}}.
  2. Add Exponents: Add the exponents. 76+136=(7+136)=206.\frac{7}{6} + \frac{13}{6} = \left(\frac{7 + 13}{6}\right) = \frac{20}{6}.
  3. Simplify Fraction: Simplify the fraction 206\frac{20}{6}. 206\frac{20}{6} can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 22. 206=(20/2)(6/2)=103\frac{20}{6} = \frac{(20/2)}{(6/2)} = \frac{10}{3}.
  4. Write Final Answer: Write the final answer using the simplified exponent. s76×s136=s206=s103s^{\frac{7}{6}} \times s^{\frac{13}{6}} = s^{\frac{20}{6}} = s^{\frac{10}{3}}.
