Question

Simplify a^3 x b x a^3 x b

Answer 1

`a^(6)b^(2)`

Explanation:

`a^3 * b * a^3 * b`

If there are no exponents written, then the exponent is 1.

`a^3 * b^1 * a^3 * b^1`

When multiplying two powers that have the same base, you can add the exponents.

`a^(3+3) * b^(1+1)`

`a^(6) * b^(2)`

Answer 2

`{a}^(6) {b}^(2)`

solution

`{a}^(3) * b * {a}^(3) * b \\ = {a}^(3 + 3) * {b}^(1 + 1) \\ = {a}^(6) {b}^(2)`

hope this helps...

Good luck on your assignment..
