Question

What is the answer to this??? Please provide an explanation as well.

Answer 1

`w^(23)`

Explanation:

Multiplication of powers with the same base:

`a^m * a^n = a^(m + n)`

(Add the exponents.)

This problem:

`w^9 * w^(14) = w^(9 + 14) = w^(23)`

Answer 2

w^(9+14) or w^23

Explanation:

It is just following the laws of indices. If same bases multiply the. their index/powers add.
