Simplify. Assume all variables are positive.u25⋅u25Write 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.u25⋅u25Write 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 you multiply two exponents with the same base, you add the exponents: am×an=am+n.So, u25×u25 can be simplified by adding the exponents.
Apply Property: Add the exponents.u25×u25=u25+25
Add Exponents: Perform the addition of the exponents. 25+25=210
Perform Addition: Simplify the fraction210.210=5
Simplify Fraction: Write the final answer with the simplified exponent. u25×u25=u5
