Math Problem Statement

Solve

Find the product. Write your answer using only positive exponents for the problems provided in the image.

Solution

Let's solve each of these problems step by step:

Problem 11:

22022422^0 \cdot 22^4 When multiplying exponents with the same base, we add the exponents: 220+4=22422^{0 + 4} = 22^4 Thus, the answer is 22422^4.

Problem 12:

85868^5 \cdot 8^{-6} Again, using the rule of adding exponents when the bases are the same: 85+(6)=818^{5 + (-6)} = 8^{-1} So, the answer is 818^{-1}. If we want only positive exponents, we can rewrite it as: 18\frac{1}{8}

Problem 13:

12412712^{-4} \cdot 12^{-7} Similar to previous steps: 124+(7)=121112^{-4 + (-7)} = 12^{-11} So, the answer is 121112^{-11}. To use only positive exponents, it becomes: 11211\frac{1}{12^{11}}

Problem 14:

3w9w43w^{-9} \cdot w^4 Using the same rule: w9+4=w5w^{-9 + 4} = w^{-5} Thus, the answer is: 3w53w^{-5} Rewriting with positive exponents: 3w5\frac{3}{w^5}

Problem 15:

9h25h109h^{-2} \cdot 5h^{10} Here, we multiply the constants and add the exponents for the variable part: (95)h2+10=45h8(9 \cdot 5) \cdot h^{-2 + 10} = 45 \cdot h^8 Thus, the answer is: 45h845h^8

Problem 16:

0.4m20.6m90.4m^{-2} \cdot 0.6m^{-9} We multiply the constants and add the exponents for the variable part: (0.40.6)m2+(9)=0.24m11(0.4 \cdot 0.6) \cdot m^{-2 + (-9)} = 0.24 \cdot m^{-11} So, the answer is: 0.24m110.24m^{-11} Rewriting with positive exponents: 0.24m11\frac{0.24}{m^{11}}
