Question

Use the Commutative Property of Multiplication to rewrite the algebraic expression: j^37 ⋅ h^24

Answer 1

the dot means multiplication right

Answer 2

The Commutative Property of Multiplication states that changing the order of the factors does not change the product. Therefore, you can rewrite the expression \( j^{37} \cdot h^{24} \) as:

\[
h^{24} \cdot j^{37}
\]

Both expressions represent the same product, but the order of the terms has been switched.

Answer 3

Yes, that's correct! The dot (·) is often used to indicate multiplication in algebra. So in the expression \( j^{37} \cdot h^{24} \), it means \( j^{37} \) is multiplied by \( h^{24} \).

Thus, you can also write it as \( j^{37} \times h^{24} \) or simply \( j^{37}h^{24} \) without the dot. The meaning remains the same.
