Question

Simplify. Rewrite the expression in the form a^n. A • A^7

Answer 1

Product of Powers Rule

Answer:

`A^8`

Explanation:

Recall the Exponent Law:

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

This means that if you multiply numbers with exponents and they have the same bases such as,
`a`, the result is the number raised to the sum of exponents.

Solution:

Note: All numbers implicitly have
`1` as their exponent. For example,
`8` is equivalent to
`8^1`.

`A \cdot A^7 \\ A^(1 +7) \\ A^8`
