Answer 1

A.) a^21b^29c^14
B.) 6(a^8b^12c^4)
C.) a^13b^19c^13
D.) a^21b^24c^10

Answer 2

distribute the exponents

Answer 3

hint: anything to the zero is 1

Answer 4

i think its C because you said any exponent that has zero is equal to 1. my work says that a^13 and C is the only one with that so thats why i think its correct.

Answer 5

C is incorrect, show me your work

Answer 6

but you are right it all comes down to the a term
