Question

Which value of a will make the following equation true?

(p²)4p³ = pll
a=0
a=2
O No value of a will work.
O a = 1

Answer 1

so u need to know

`{p}^(a) * {p}^(b) = {p}^(a + b)`

and

`{ ({p}^(a) )}^(b) = \: {p}^(a * b)`

question :

`{ ({p}^(a) )}^(4) * {p}^(3) = {p}^(11)`

so we can tell :

`{p}^((a * 4) +3 ) = {p}^(11)`

then

`(a * 4 )+ 3 = 11`

`a = 2`

the answer is a=2
