Answer:

10

Explanation:

This expression uses the idea of exponential edition. The basis is, when you have the same base number being multiplied, you can add the exponentials.

Consider the case of 2 * 2. We know this to be 4. When writing 2 * 2, you can write this as 2^1 * 2^1 == 2^(1+1) == 2^2 == 4. See how we added the powers to get the new exponential?

We will apply this same idea here.

10^(1/2) * 10^(1/2) == 10^(1/2 + 1/2) == 10^(1) == 10.

So, the simplified expression is 10.

Cheers.
