Question

Which of the following expressions cannot be simplified using the multiplication property of exponents?

Answer 1

The multiplication property of exponents states that when multiplying two powers with the same base, we add the exponents.

Therefore, from the options given, only option 3 is the odd one out because all the expressions don't have the same base.

Hence, the answer is

`x^55^xy^8\text{ \lparen OPTION 3\rparen}`
