Using the Product Rule of Exponents, what is an equivalent form of (1/3)^6⋅(1/3)^3 ?

1 answer

To simplify the expression (1/3)6(1/3)3 using the Product Rule of Exponents, we can use the rule that states:

aman=am+n

In this case, a=13, m=6, and n=3. Applying the rule:

(1/3)6(1/3)3=(1/3)6+3=(1/3)9

Thus, an equivalent form of the expression (1/3)6(1/3)3 is:

(1/3)9
