Question

Simplify tis expression p9 × p3 =

Answer 1

27p^2

Explanation:

1:Take out the constants.

(9x3)pp

2:simplify 9 x 3 to 27

27pp

3:Use product rule: x^a x^b=x^a+b

27p^2

Answer 2

The answer is:

`\sf{p^(12)}`

Work/explanation:

When multiplying numbers with the same base, we can just add their exponents.

This can be shown with the following exponent law:

`\sf{x^m\cdot x^n=x^(m+n)}`

Similarly:

`\sf{p^9* p^3=p^(9+3)=p^(12)}`

Hence, the answer is p¹².
