b^8/9 * b^5/2=

OpenStudy (nikita2):

\[x^{a}*x^{b} = x^{a+b}\]

OpenStudy (nikita2):

In your case it is b^{8/9 + 5/2} = b^{61/18}

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What are you multiplying by to get 61?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

=b^(61/18)

OpenStudy (nikita2):

8/9 + 5/2 = (2*8 + 9*5)/2*9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How did you get the number 61? I see that 9*2 is 18, but 8*5 is 40 not 61

OpenStudy (nikita2):

What a formula do you use?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (nikita2):

yes, i just add tow fractions )
