Use the Product Rule of Exponents to simplify the expression 7 ^ 2 * 7 ^ 3. (1 point

The Product Rule of Exponents states that for any nonzero number a, a^m * a^n = a^(m+n).

Using the Product Rule of Exponents, we can simplify the expression 7^2 * 7^3 as follows:

7^2 * 7^3 = 7^(2+3) = 7^5

Therefore, 7^2 * 7^3 = 7^5.

I apologize for the incorrect response. Let's try again:

Using the Product Rule of Exponents, 7^2 * 7^3 can be simplified as follows:

7^2 * 7^3 = (7 * 7) * (7 * 7 * 7)

Since the base (7) is the same, we can add the exponents:

= 7^(2+3) = 7^5

Therefore, 7^2 * 7^3 simplifies to 7^5.
