Q. Simplify. Assume all variables are positive.\newlinez87z27z^{\frac{8}{7}} \cdot z^{\frac{2}{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 and Apply Property: Identify the equation and apply the property of exponents for multiplication.\newlineWhen multiplying powers with the same base, we add the exponents: am×an=am+na^m \times a^n = a^{m+n}.\newlinez87×z27=z87+27z^{\frac{8}{7}} \times z^{\frac{2}{7}} = z^{\frac{8}{7} + \frac{2}{7}}.
  2. Add Exponents: Add the exponents.\newline87+27=(8+2)7=107\frac{8}{7} + \frac{2}{7} = \frac{(8 + 2)}{7} = \frac{10}{7}.\newlineSo, z87×z27=z107z^{\frac{8}{7}} \times z^{\frac{2}{7}} = z^{\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, and all exponents are positive.\newlineThe final answer is z107z^{\frac{10}{7}}, which is already in the correct form.
