Question

Using the Product Rule of Exponents, what is the exponent of 7 to the 2ed power times 7 to the 3rd power in exponential simplest form?

Answer 1

To find the exponent of a product of two powers with the same base, you add the exponents.

So, if we have 7 raised to the 2nd power times 7 raised to the 3rd power, we add the exponents:

2 + 3 = 5

Therefore, the exponent of 7 to the 2nd power times 7 to the 3rd power is 5.
