Question

Choose the correct simplification of the expression f4 • f8. f2 f4 f12 f32

Answer 1

Hello!

We have the following expression:

`\bf{f^4*f^8}`

Recall the Properties of Exponents:

`\bold{a^ma^n=a^(m+n)}`

According to the property, if we have the same bases multiplied together, then we just add their exponents:

`\bf{f^4f^8=f^(4+8)}`

Simplify:

`\bf{f^(12)}`

Hope everything is clear.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Answer 2

f^12

Explanation:

f^4 * f^8

We that a^b * a^c = a^(b+c)

f^(4+8)

f^12
