Answer 1

`x^(-3).x^7=x^(4)`

Explanation:

Given expression:

`x^(-3).x^7`

We need to evaluate the given expression.

Solution:

We will use the properties of exponents to evaluate it.

By product rule:

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

We have:
`x^(-3).x^7`

Using product rule to multiply the terms.

⇒
`x^((-3+7))`

⇒
`x^(4)` (Answer)
