Question

(x·y)a = xa · ya illustrates which property of exponents?

Answer 1

The power of a product property

Explanation:

This equation can only be true for exponents.

So your expression should be:

`(x \cdot \: y)^(a) = {x}^(a) \cdot \: {y}^(a)`

This is called the power of a product property of exponents.

When two base are multiplying with the same exponents, you can give the same exponent to their product.
