Question

Can x8 x y3 be written as a single power

Answer 1

`x^(a)x^(b) =x^(a+b)\\ \\x^(8)x^(3)= x^(11)\\ \\Answer:\ x^(11).`

`But\ x^(8)y^(3) \ cannot\ be\ simplified.`

Answer 2

`x^(8) *y^(3)` can only be written as
`x^(8)* y^(3)` or as
`x^(8) y^(3)`. One has the multiplication sign the other does not, which is why we put it together, because we know that if they are together they will be multiplied.
