Q. Simplify. Assume all variables are positive.\newlinez23z53z^{\frac{2}{3}} \cdot z^{\frac{5}{3}}\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, which states that when multiplying like bases, you add the exponents: am×an=am+na^m \times a^n = a^{m+n}. So, z23×z53=z23+53z^{\frac{2}{3}} \times z^{\frac{5}{3}} = z^{\frac{2}{3} + \frac{5}{3}}.
  2. Add Exponents: Add the exponents 23\frac{2}{3} and 53\frac{5}{3}. \newline23+53=(2+5)3=73\frac{2}{3} + \frac{5}{3} = \frac{(2+5)}{3} = \frac{7}{3}. \newlineSo, z23z53=z73z^{\frac{2}{3}} * z^{\frac{5}{3}} = z^{\frac{7}{3}}.
  3. Check Final Exponent: Check that the final exponent is positive, which it is 7/37/3, and that there are no variables in common in the numerator and denominator of the exponent, which is also true.\newlineTherefore, the simplified form of the expression is z7/3z^{7/3}.
