Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's solve the problems using the properties of exponents, specifically focusing on the product of powers property which states that .
-
Using the product of powers property:
-
Again, using the product of powers property:
-
Here, the bases are the same, so add the exponents:
-
The exponent for is 0, and any base raised to the power of 0 equals 1. Thus:
-
Remember that is the same as . Adding exponents gives:
-
Add the exponents since the bases are the same:
-
This can be written as . -
For the powers of 10: For the powers of : Thus, the final expression is .
