Step-by-step explanation:

i got it right on edge

Answer 2

Answer:

b

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$\sqrt{b}*\sqrt{b}$

Rewrite the expression

$\sqrt{b}*\sqrt{b}=(b^{\frac{1}{2}})*(b^{\frac{1}{2}})$

we know that

When multiplying two powers that have the same base, you can add the exponents

so

$(b^{\frac{1}{2}})*(b^{\frac{1}{2}})=b^{(\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2})}=b^{1}=b$
