what is an equivalent form of 9^5 times 9^2

Answer 1

To simplify the expression \( 9^5 \times 9^2 \), you can use the property of exponents that states \( a^m \times a^n = a^{m+n} \).

Applying this property:

\[ 9^5 \times 9^2 = 9^{5+2} = 9^7 \]

So, an equivalent form of \( 9^5 \times 9^2 \) is \( 9^7 \).
