Algebra

For example, (x)(x)=x^2

Add the exponents of the variable to get the correct answer.

(k^3)(k^5)=k^8

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

When two values have the same base, have exponents, and are being multiplied to each other, then we add together the exponents.

So, we are given k to the power of 3, which is multiplied by k to the power of 5. The powers (exponents) are added together to make 8, and the bases combine to be only one of the bases, being k.

So, we are left with the answer being
k^8.

I hope this helps!
