Question

when we multiply variables that contain exponents, how do we simplify?

Answer 1

you just add exponent together, for example: \(\Large x^2x^3 = x^{2+3}\)

Answer 2

does that answer your question? @alliekat06

Answer 3

That's it? Wth!

Answer 4

I need to read the chapters again!

Answer 5

well, you only can do that if variables are same.

Answer 6

is that all? @alliekat06

Answer 7

What if the variables are not the same?

Answer 8

well, then you cannot simplify it, so you just left it as the way it is

\(\Large x^2y^3\) cannot be simplified

Answer 9

Ooh ok. Thank you so much for your time!
