HELP write p5*p2 without exponents

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

Hint: \(\bf a^b * a^c = a^{b+c}\)

OpenStudy (danieke):

@TheSmartOne so what does that mean

OpenStudy (ilovemath14):

the p stays but you add the exponents

OpenStudy (ilovemath14):

Did you get the answer?

OpenStudy (danieke):

p7

OpenStudy (danieke):

the seven was suppose to be a 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The 7 is still an exponent.

OpenStudy (ilovemath14):

what 7+5?

OpenStudy (danieke):

its 5 and 2

OpenStudy (ilovemath14):

Correct your answer is p^7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is the orginal question \[p^5\cdot p^2\]?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

p^7 still has an exponent. The 7.

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

So write p 7 times, right?

OpenStudy (danieke):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (danieke):
