Q. Simplify. Assume all variables are positive.\newlinev27v87v^{\frac{2}{7}} \cdot v^{\frac{8}{7}}\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 Rule: Identify the equation and apply the exponent rule for multiplication.\newlineWhen multiplying two exponents with the same base, we add the exponents: am×an=am+na^m \times a^n = a^{m+n}.\newlinev27×v87=v27+87v^{\frac{2}{7}} \times v^{\frac{8}{7}} = v^{\frac{2}{7} + \frac{8}{7}}.
  2. Add Exponents: Add the exponents.\newline27+87=2+87=107\frac{2}{7} + \frac{8}{7} = \frac{2 + 8}{7} = \frac{10}{7}.\newlineSo, v27×v87=v107v^{\frac{2}{7}} \times v^{\frac{8}{7}} = v^{\frac{10}{7}}.
  3. Write Final Answer: Write the final 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.\newlineThe final answer is v107v^{\frac{10}{7}}, which is already in the correct form.
