We are asked to identify the property that is applied to multiply to expressions of the same base nd different exponents:


5^6\cdot5^7

Here we need to apply the power property of products, which tells us:


a^n\cdot a^m=a^(n+m)

So the answer is : we apply the power property of products.And end up with the expression 5 to the power 13.

For the case:


(11\cdot7)^4

we need to apply the property for power of a product . This property tells us how to distribute the power into a product of different bases:


(a\cdot b)^n=a^n\cdot b^n
