Question

Joni said that she could rewrite the expression d^3•d^11 as d^33. What mistake did Joni make?

Answer 1

Joni's mistake was to multiply the exponents instead of adding the exponents.

Explanation:

we know that

When multiplying two powers that have the same base, you can add the exponents

so

`d^(3) *d^(11) =d^(3+11)=d^(14)`

Joni's mistake was to multiply the exponents instead of adding the exponents.
