Question

Simplify the expression if possible 4^3 × 4^5 and write you answer as a power ( using exponents )

Answer 1

Answer:

4^8

Step-by-step explanation:

If you are multiplying two bases that are the same with different exponents, the exponents get added and the base stays the same:

$x^a*x^b=x^{a+b}\\\\4^3*4^5=4^{3+5}\\\\4^3*4^5=4^8$

Therefore, 4^3 * 4^5 = 4^8
