Use the commutative property of multiplication to rewrite the algebraic expression P to the 22nd power times q to the 14th power

Answer 1

The commutative property of multiplication states that the order in which two numbers (or variables) are multiplied does not affect the product. This means that \(a \times b = b \times a\).

Using the commutative property, we can rewrite the expression \( P^{22} \times q^{14} \) in various ways. Here are a couple of examples:

1. \( q^{14} \times P^{22} \)
2. \( P^{22} \times q^{14} \) (which is the original expression)

Both forms represent the same product, just in a different order.
