Question

Choose the correct simplification of the expression f4 • f8. f2 f4 f12 f32

Answer 1

Answer:

f^12

Step-by-step explanation:

f^4  * f^8

We that a^b * a^c = a^(b+c)

f^(4+8)

f^12

Answer 2

Hello!

We have the following expression:

$\bf{f^4*f^8}$

Recall the Properties of Exponents:

$\bold{a^ma^n=a^{m+n}}$

According to the property, if we have the same bases multiplied together, then we just add their exponents:

$\bf{f^4f^8=f^{4+8}}$

Simplify:

$\bf{f^{12}}$

Hope everything is clear.
