Question

What does (y4z2)(y3z2) equal? Explain using the expanded form and the multiplication property of exponents

Answer 1

y^7z^4

Answer 2

Since exponent values are added when their bases are multiplied together, it becomes
(y4z2)(y3z2) = y^(4+3) * z^(2+2) = y^7z^4

Answer 3

so when you imagine in
a^b * a^c = a*a*a... (b times) * a*a*a...(c times)
so now the number of "a"s multiplied together is b+c thus a*(b+c)
so a*b=a*c=a*(b+c)
