Multiply x to the 1 third power times x to the 3 seventh power.
Solution:
x to the 1 third power times x to the 3 sevenths power
⇒ x1/3 × x3/7
By Law of indices or the law of exponents, to multiply two exponents with the same base, we need to add its powers and raise them to that base. 32 × 34 = (3×3) × (3× 3×3 × 3)= 36
ap.aq = ap+q
∴ x1/3 × x3/7 = x(1/3 + 3/7) = x10/21
Multiply x to the 1 third power times x to the 3 seventh power.
Summary:
Multiplying x to the 1 third power times x to the 3 seventh power we get, x10/21.
