The product rule of exponents states that when multiplying two powers with the same base, you can add their exponents.
Therefore, 5^10 * 5^5 = 5^(10+5).
Adding the exponents, we get:
5^(10+5) = 5^15.
So, 5^10 * 5^5 = 5^15.
Therefore, 5^10 * 5^5 = 5^(10+5).
Adding the exponents, we get:
5^(10+5) = 5^15.
So, 5^10 * 5^5 = 5^15.
