Question

Which expression is equivalent to p·q·q·q·q·q·q·q·q·q?

Answer 1

$\huge{\boxed{pq^9}}$

An exponent is multiplying the same thing by itself a number of times.

For example, $10^2\ =\ 10*10\ =\ 100$

There is one $p$. $p^1$

There are nine $q$s. $q^9$

This leaves us with $p^1 * q^9$, or $p^1 q^9$.

We don't need a power of one, so we can just keep $p*q^9$, or $\boxed{pq^9}$

Answer 2

Answer:

1. pq^9.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the product of 1 p and 9 q's.

So it is pq^9.
