Question

Simplify the problem below:

Answer 1

the bases are the same and you're multiplying the monomials, so you add the exponents

Answer 2

example:

x^3 * x^5 * x^7 = x^(3+5+7) = x^(15)

Answer 3

\[(x ^{-1})(x ^{-7/8})(x ^{1/8})=(x ^{(-1-(7/8)+(1/8)})\]

Answer 4

Now you can evaluate it :)
