Question

Choose the correct simplification of the expression a2 ⋅ a3. a a6 a5 a−1

Answer 1

Answer:the answer would be a^5 I just took the test and got it right!

Answer 2

Answer: The correct option is (C)
`a^5.`

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to choose the correct simplification for the following expression :

`P=a^2.a^3~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)`

We will be using the following property of exponents :

`x^a.x^b=x^(a+b).`

So, the simplification of expression (i) is as follows :

`P\\\\=a^2.a^3\\\\=a^(2+3)\\\\=a^5.`

Thus, the correct simplification of the given expression is
`a^5.`

Option (C) is CORRECT.
