26 ⋅ 26^8
Multiply by adding the exponents:
Raise 26 to the power of 1 to get:
26^1 * 26^8
Now when you multiply the same number raised to different powers, you add the powers together:
26^1 * 26^8 = 26^(8+1) = 26^9
So 26 * 26^8 simplifies is 26^9
Where are the triangles so I can compare to find the triangle congruence?
I typed right on the problem set.
-7, because you distribute it to both -4 and 3.2, which means you're multiplying it to both.
