what is the product rule of exponents to simplify 5^10 x 5^5 (1 point)

1 answer

The product rule of exponents states that when multiplying two exponential expressions with the same base, you keep the base and add the exponents.

So, to simplify 5^10 * 5^5, you would keep the base 5 and add the exponents 10 and 5:

5^10 * 5^5 = 5^(10+5) = 5^15
