Math Problem Statement

Simplify b^4 ⋅ b and rewrite the expression in the form b^n.

Solution

To simplify the expression b4bb^4 \cdot b and rewrite it in the form bnb^n:

We apply the rule of exponents:

bmbn=bm+nb^m \cdot b^n = b^{m+n}

Here, we have:

b4b1=b4+1=b5b^4 \cdot b^1 = b^{4+1} = b^5

Thus, the simplified form is:

b5b^5
