Question

Simplify the expression. Write your answer as a power.
8^10*8^4

Answer 1

8^14

Explanation:

8^10*8^4=8^(10+4)=8^14

Answer 2

`8^(14)`

Explanation:

You are multiplying the two answers. Note that the base is the same (8).

In that case, when multiplying powers with the same base, you are essentially adding the powers together:

`8^(10) * 8^(4) = 8^(10 + 4) = 8^(14)`

`8^(14)` is your answer.
