Question

Simplify the exponential equation.

Answer 1

Answer: h.

Explanation:

`h^(-1)*h^5*h^(-3)=\\h^(-1+5+(-3))=\\h^(-1+5-3)=\\h^1=\\h.`

Answer 2

h⁻¹ · h⁵ · h⁻³

Use the rules of exponents to simplify the expression.

1/h h⁵h⁻³

Use the multiplication rule for exponents.

h⁻¹⁺⁵⁻³

Add the exponents −1 and 5.

h⁴⁻³

Add the exponents 4 and −3.

h¹

For any term t, t¹ = t.

h

Therefore, the third option is the correct one.
