Question

5^3 x 5^6

for problems give your answer with an exponent.

Answer 1

• a^m×a^n=a^{m+n}

So

• 5³+5⁶
• 5^{3+6}
• 5⁹

Answer 2

• 5⁹

Explanation:

When multiplying exponents with same base add up exponents and leave the base same:

• 
  `a^b*a^c=a^(b+c)`

Apply to the given question:

• 
  `5^3 * 5^6=5^(3+6) = 5^9`
