Q. Simplify. Assume all variables are positive.\newlineu176u176u^{\frac{17}{6}} \cdot u^{\frac{17}{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 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: \newlineuab×ucd=u(ab+cd)u^{\frac{a}{b}} \times u^{\frac{c}{d}} = u^{\left(\frac{a}{b} + \frac{c}{d}\right)}\newlineSo, u176×u176u^{\frac{17}{6}} \times u^{\frac{17}{6}} becomes u(176+176)u^{\left(\frac{17}{6} + \frac{17}{6}\right)}.
  2. Add Exponents: Add the exponents. u176+176u^{\frac{17}{6} + \frac{17}{6}} is u346u^{\frac{34}{6}}.
  3. Simplify Exponent: Simplify the exponent. 346\frac{34}{6} can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 22. 346\frac{34}{6} simplifies to 173\frac{17}{3}.
  4. Write Final Answer: Write the final answer.\newlineThe simplified form is u173u^{\frac{17}{3}}.
