Question

Multiply and simplify:

b4 • b • b2 • b3

You could save my grade, i'd appreciate help :(

Answer 1

b4, b2 and b3...

Are they \[b^4 \times b \times b^2 \times b^3\] ?

Answer 2

Anyways,

b^4 in expanded form is b * b * b * b

When you multiply a term with the same base you add the exponents, \(\ a^2 * a = a^{2+1} = a^3 \)

\(\ a = a^1 \)

So \(\ b^4 * b * b^2 * b^3\) is equal to \(\ b^{4 + 1 + 2 + 3}\) = \(\ b^{10}\)
