Question

PLEAS EHELP I BEG YOU!!!!!

Answer 1

x^a(x^b)^m = x^(a+bm)

When multiplying numbers, the base (x) must be the same. Add the exponents. When raising (x^b)^m, multiply exponents.

Examples: x²x³ = x^5.
x²(x³)² = x²x³x³ = x^8 [2x(3x2)]

In the second equation, division of exponents means to subtract. The big clue is 8/4 = 2, so any correct answer must be preceded by 2.

5-4 = 1, and x^1 = x. So: 2x

Answer 2

X^a+bm
3rd answer
Parenthesis means b x m
a is not right next to b so you add that to b x m
