Let's simplify each expression step by step using the Product Rule of Exponents, which states that when multiplying two powers with the same base, you add the exponents.

1. **Simplifying \(2^4 \cdot 2^2\)**:
\[
2^4 \cdot 2^2 = 2^{4+2} = 2^6
\]

2. **Simplifying \(3^8 \cdot 3^3\)**:
\[
3^8 \cdot 3^3 = 3^{8+3} = 3^{11}
\]

3. **Simplifying \(7^5 \cdot 7^2\)**:
\[
7^5 \cdot 7^2 = 7^{5+2} = 7^7
\]

4. **Finding the numerical equivalent of \(7^2 \cdot 7^3\)**:
\[
7^2 \cdot 7^3 = 7^{2+3} = 7^5
\]
Now, calculate \(7^5\):
\[
7 \times 7 = 49 \\
49 \times 7 = 343 \\
343 \times 7 = 2401 \\
2401 \times 7 = 16807
\]
Therefore, \(7^5 = 16807\).

5. **Finding the numerical equivalent of \(3^9 \cdot 3^{-5}\)**:
\[
3^9 \cdot 3^{-5} = 3^{9 + (-5)} = 3^{9 - 5} = 3^4
\]
Now, calculate \(3^4\):
\[
3 \times 3 = 9 \\
9 \times 3 = 27 \\
27 \times 3 = 81
\]
Therefore, \(3^4 = 81\).

Here are the final answers:

1. \(2^6\)
2. \(3^{11}\)
3. \(7^7\)
4. \(16807\)
5. \(81\)

Let's go through each question step by step.

### Question 1: Which expression is correctly developed to use the Product Rule of Exponents?

The Product Rule of Exponents states that when multiplying two powers with the same base, the exponents are added. The expression that fits this rule needs to have terms multiplied that share the same base.

1. **\(6^2 \cdot 7^3\)** - This represents multiplication of bases \(6\) and \(7\), not applicable.

2. **\((5^2)^9\)** - This uses the power of a power rule, not the product rule.

3. **\(3^2 \cdot 7\)** - \(3^2\) is being multiplied by \(7\), not applicable.

4. **\(10^8 \cdot 10^8\)** - This has the same base \(10\), and since it can be simplified using the product rule:
\[
10^8 \cdot 10^8 = 10^{8+8} = 10^{16}
\]
This is the correct option.

**Answer: \(10^8 \cdot 10^8\)**

### Question 2: Which of the following correctly used the Product Rule of Exponents to simplify the expression \(10^8 \cdot 10^7\)?

Using the Product Rule:
\[
10^8 \cdot 10^7 = 10^{8+7} = 10^{15}
\]

1. **\(10^{56}\)** - Incorrect.

2. **\(20^{15}\)** - Incorrect.

3. **\(10,000^{15}\)** - Incorrect.

4. **\(10^{15}\)** - Correct.

**Answer: \(10^{15}\)**

### Question 3: Find the numerical equivalent of \(10^2 \cdot 10^3\).

Using the Product Rule:
\[
10^2 \cdot 10^3 = 10^{2+3} = 10^5
\]
Now, calculate \(10^5\):
\[
10^5 = 100,000
\]

**Answer: \(100,000\)**

### Question 4: Find the numerical equivalent of \(2^5 \cdot 2^{-2}\).

Using the Product Rule:
\[
2^5 \cdot 2^{-2} = 2^{5 + (-2)} = 2^{5 - 2} = 2^3
\]
Now, calculate \(2^3\):
\[
2^3 = 8
\]

**Answer: \(8\)**

### Question 5: Find the numerical equivalent of \(4^9 \cdot 4^{-7}\).

Using the Product Rule:
\[
4^9 \cdot 4^{-7} = 4^{9 + (-7)} = 4^{9 - 7} = 4^2
\]
Now, calculate \(4^2\):
\[
4^2 = 16
\]

**Answer: \(16\)**

Here are the final answers summarized:

1. \(10^8 \cdot 10^8\)
2. \(10^{15}\)
3. \(100,000\)
4. \(8\)
5. \(16\)
