Question

Nicole simplifies 2^a*2^5/2^b to 2^(a-b+5). Which two properties of exponents did she use while simplifying the expression?

Answer 1

Answer:

D.

Step-by-step explanation:

2^a*2^5/2^b = 2^(a+5)/2^b. using power of a product property.

then

2^(a+5)/2^b= 2^(a+5)*2^-b. Using Negative Exponent property.

Again we can use power of a product property and we get 2^(a+5)*2^-b=2^(a-b+5)
