Question 8 (1 point)

(x^22)(x^7)^3
The expression
is equivalent to x^pWhat is the value of P?

Answer 1

p = 43

Explanation:

Here, we have it that;

(x^22) * (x^7)^3 = x^p

From law of indices

(y^a)^b = y^ab

and also;

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

applying these, we have it that;

(x^7)^3 = x^(7* 3) = x^21

Thus, we have it that;

x^22 * x^21 = x^(22 + 21) = x^43

So we have it that the value of p is 43
