Answer 3

x^2 * x^5 = x^(2+5) = x^7
you don't get (x^2)^7

Answer 4

Eden did it correctly, Erin instead of adding the exponents multiplied them, and Emma added the exponents but multiplied the factors when she should have left them alone.

Answer 5

Emma did not solve it correctly.

The laws of exponents say that
a^m * a^n = a^(m+n)

So the base a does not need to be multiplied.

Answer 6

So Eden did it correctly?

Answer 7

yes
