Product rule and exponents QuickChek, using the product rule of exponents. What is an equivalent form of eight with the small two on top of the 8×8 with a small six on top of the eighth

1 answer

An equivalent form of eight with the small two on top of the 8×8 with a small six on top of the eighth can be calculated using the product rule of exponents.

Starting with 8^2 × 8^6, we can apply the product rule of exponents, which states that when multiplying two exponential expressions with the same base, we add their exponents.

Therefore, 8^2 × 8^6 is equal to 8^(2+6), which simplifies to 8^8.

So, an equivalent form of eight with the small two on top of the 8×8 with a small six on top of the eighth is 8^8.
