Answer 1

`5^(9)`

Explanation:

Indicie multiplication works by adding the exponent presuming that the base is the same.

`4^(7)`, 4 is the base and so stays the same, 7 is the exponent.

`x^(2)`, here the equation is the same as x * x as exponents work by multiplying the base, x, by iteself y times, where y is the exponent and in this case 4.

As we know this,
`x^(2) * x^(2)` can be simplified too
`x^(4)`, which is the same as

x * x * x * x, so we know in such a situation we just add the two exponents together.

Answer 2

None of these are correct.

Explanation:

Hello there!

If you are asked to multiply two expressions with exponents, add the exponents and place them on top of the original number.

The correct answer is
`5^9`.
