Q. Simplify. Express your answer using positive exponents.s(8s8)(2s)
Multiply Coefficients and Variables: Multiply the coefficients (numbers) and the variables with exponents separately.8×2=16s8×s=s8+1=s9So, (8s8)(2s)=16s9
Divide by s: Divide the result by s. s16s9 When we divide powers with the same base, we subtract the exponents. ss9=s9−1=s8 So, s16s9=16s8
Ensure Positive Exponents: Ensure that all exponents are positive. The exponent of s in the final answer is 8, which is already positive.
