Identify expression: Identify the expression to simplify.We have the expression w1/7×w2/7 and we need to simplify it.
Apply product rule: Apply the product rule for exponents.The product rule states that when multiplying two powers with the same base, you add the exponents: am×an=am+n.So, w71×w72=w71+72.
Add exponents: Add the exponents.We add the fractions71 and 72.71+72=73.
Write final expression: Write the final simplified expression.The expression w1/7×w2/7 simplifies to w3/7.
