Question

Required Question #7 7) 100^2 x 100^5 = 100^y y=?

Answer 1

Given the general rule for exponents:

`a^n\cdot a^m=a^(n+m)`

then, in this case we have the following:

`\begin{gathered} 100^2x100^5=100^y \\ \Rightarrow(100^2)\cdot(100^5)=100^(2+5)=100^7 \\ \Rightarrow y=7 \end{gathered}`

therefore, y=7
