I need help with this

OpenStudy (david954954):

OpenStudy (lorenbeech):

Annabelle's work is correct

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

Annabelle's work is right bc, a^x * a^y = a^(x+y) ok. ?

OpenStudy (david954954):

@jhonyy9 No I dont get the thing you wrote

OpenStudy (lorenbeech):

When you multiply numbers with the same base, you add their exponents together. For example (4^2) x (4^3) = 4^2+3 = 4^5

OpenStudy (david954954):

Ok but the thing is I need to explain it but its kinda hard for me cause I dont really understand it

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

David than you check the Annabel's work so she assumed these exponents when Navene multipied these exponents but than you see this my above wrote formula what is right when you assume the exponents or when multiplie ?

OpenStudy (david954954):

What I dont get it

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

a^x *a^y = a^(x+y) the formula say this so bc. Annabelle was who assumed these exponents so from this result that she made the right way to solving right this exercise hope so much that now you understand it ok ?

OpenStudy (david954954):

Ok thanks

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

was my pleasure good luck bye bye
