Here are the answers to each of the questions provided:
Question 1: What is \( 5^7 \times 5^8 \)?
- Using the property of exponents \( a^m \times a^n = a^{m+n} \), we find that \( 5^7 \times 5^8 = 5^{7+8} = 5^{15} \).
- Answer: 5 to the 15th power
Question 2: What is \( 8^5 / 8^2 \)?
- Using the property \( \frac{a^m}{a^n} = a^{m-n} \), we have \( 8^5 / 8^2 = 8^{5-2} = 8^3 \).
- Answer: 8 cubed
Question 3: What is \( 6^9 \div 6^2 \)?
- Using the property \( \frac{a^m}{a^n} = a^{m-n} \), we find \( 6^9 \div 6^2 = 6^{9-2} = 6^7 \).
- Answer: 6 to the 7th power
Question 4: What is \( 10^6 \times 10^3 \)?
- Using the property \( a^m \times a^n = a^{m+n} \), we have \( 10^6 \times 10^3 = 10^{6+3} = 10^9 \).
- Answer: 10 to the 9th power
Question 5: What is \( a^2 \times a^3 \)?
- Using the property \( a^m \times a^n = a^{m+n} \), we find \( a^2 \times a^3 = a^{2+3} = a^5 \).
- Answer: a to the 5th power
Question 6: What is \( b^9 / b^3 \)?
- Using the property \( \frac{a^m}{a^n} = a^{m-n} \), we have \( b^9 / b^3 = b^{9-3} = b^6 \).
- Answer: b to the 6th power
Question 7: What is \( (b^2)^3 \)?
- Using the property \( (a^m)^n = a^{m \times n} \), we find \( (b^2)^3 = b^{2 \times 3} = b^6 \).
- Answer: b to the 6th power
Question 8: What is \( (5^8)^2 \)?
- Using the property \( (a^m)^n = a^{m \times n} \), we have \( (5^8)^2 = 5^{8 \times 2} = 5^{16} \).
- Answer: 5 to the 16th power
Question 9: What is \( 9^0 \)?
- Any non-zero number raised to the power of 0 is equal to 1.
- Answer: 1
