The exponent 7 tells us how many copies of "8" are being multiplied together.

The expression 8*8*8 is equal to 8^3, while 8*8*8*8 = 8^4

Multiplying 8^3 and 8^4 will have us add the exponents to get 8^7. The base stays at 8 the entire time.

The rule is a^b*a^c = a^(b+c) where the base is 'a' the entire time.

Answer:

8^ 7

Explanation:

(8*8*8) * (8*8*8*8)

There are 3 8's times 4 8's

8^3 * 8^4

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

8 ^ ( 3+4)

8^ 7
