rewrite a*a*b*c*a*b using exponents

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

how many a's you got ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

so it is a^3 how many b's you got ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2

OpenStudy (ahsome):

We have 3 \(a\), 2 \(b\) and 1 \(c\) in that equation. Therefore, instead of writing \(a*a*a\), we can just write \(a^3\) Same thing with \(b*b\), we can just write as \(b^2\) Therefore: \(a*a*a*b*b*c=a^3b^2c\)

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

so now we have a^3b^2 now how many c's you got ?

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

Ahsome is correct....a^3b^2c is the answer

Thank you @texaschic101 for giving a detail explanation :)
