Math Problem Statement

Select all the expressions that are equivalent to 7^7 * 7^7.

Solution

The problem asks to identify expressions that are equivalent to 77×777^7 \times 7^7.

To solve this:

  1. Simplify the given expression: 77×777^7 \times 7^7.
    • Using the property of exponents: am×an=am+na^m \times a^n = a^{m+n},
    • So, 77×77=77+7=7147^7 \times 7^7 = 7^{7+7} = 7^{14}.

Now, let's evaluate each of the options:

  • Option 1: 1714\frac{1}{7^{14}} is equivalent to 7147^{-14}, which is not equal to 7147^{14}.
  • Option 2: 7497^{49} is not equal to 7147^{14}.
  • Option 3: (77)2\left(7^7\right)^2 can be simplified using the power of a power rule: (am)n=am×n(a^m)^n = a^{m \times n}, so (77)2=77×2=714\left(7^7\right)^2 = 7^{7 \times 2} = 7^{14}.
  • Option 4: 7147^{14} is exactly 7147^{14}.

Thus, the correct expressions that are equivalent to 77×777^7 \times 7^7 are:

  • (77)2\left(7^7\right)^2
  • 7147^{14}

Would you like more details on exponent rules or any related questions? Here are five questions to explore further:

  1. What are the different properties of exponents?
  2. How do you simplify expressions involving exponents with different bases?
  3. How would the answer change if the problem was 77×767^7 \times 7^6?
  4. How do you solve equations that involve exponents?
  5. What is the difference between 7147^{-14} and 7147^{14}?

Tip: When multiplying terms with the same base, simply add the exponents to find the product.
