Answer:

a^[2+m]

Explanation:

When multiplying two polynomials with the same base but different exponents, we add the exponents because

a^m*a^n

= a^m+n

So,

a^2*a^m

= a^2+m

Since it can't be solved anymore this is the simplest form

Answer:

a^(2+m)

Explanation:

We can simply add the exponents together because they have the same base which will give us a^(2 + m).
