Answer:


a^(5)
b^(3)

Explanation:

The law of indices can be used to simplify mathematical expressions involving arithmetical operation on variables with powers.


a^(m) x
a^(n) =
a^((m+n))

Thus, the given expression can be simplified as follows:

a³b² a²b = a³ x a² x b² x
b^(1)

=
a^(3+2) x
b^(2+1)

=
a^(5)
b^(3)

Thus,

a³b² a²b =
a^(5)
b^(3)
