Identify expression: Identify the expression to be simplified.We have the expression x5/2×x1/2 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. So, we add the exponents 25 and 21.x25∗x21=x25+21
Perform addition: Perform the addition of the exponents. 25+21=26
Simplify exponent: Simplify the exponent. 26=3
Write final expression: Write the final simplified expression. x25×x21=x3
