Using the Product Rule of Exponents, what is an equivalent form of 1^9⋅1^8

Answer 1

Using the Product Rule of Exponents, we add the exponents when we have the same base raised to different powers. Therefore, we can rewrite 1^9⋅1^8 as 1^(9+8). Simplifying the exponent, we have 1^17. Since any number raised to the power of 1 is still that number, we have an equivalent form of 1.
