A. 7.142
B. 7.113.7.113
C. 7.113
D. 711

Answer 1

7.1^13

Hence, C

Hope it helps!

Answer 2

C) (7.1)^13

Explanation:

When you multiply numbers with the same bases but different exponents, the base stays the same, but the exponents get added:

a^x*a^y=a^(x+y)

(7.1)^6*(7.1)^7=(7.1)^(6+7)=(7.1)^13

Therefore, the correct answer is C) (7.1)^13
