Which choice represents the expression below as a single exponential expression? 65 * 63
- A.
6^8 * 6^8
- B.
6^15
- C.
6^2
- D.
6^8
Correct Answer
D. 6^8Explanation
The expression 65 * 63 can be written as 6^8 * 6^8. This is because when multiplying numbers with the same base, you can add the exponents. In this case, both numbers have a base of 6, so you add the exponents 8 + 8 to get 16. Therefore, the expression 65 * 63 can be simplified to 6^16. However, this is not one of the answer choices provided. Therefore, the correct answer is 6^8.Rate this question:

- A.
2^16 * 2^16
- B.
2^16
- C.
2^55
- D.
2^6
Correct Answer
B. 2^16Explanation
The given expression can be represented as a single exponential expression by adding the exponents of the base 2. In this case, the base 2 is raised to the power of 16 and multiplied by another base 2 raised to the power of 16. When multiplying two exponential expressions with the same base, the exponents are added. Therefore, 2^16 * 2^16 can be simplified to 2^(16+16), which equals 2^32.Rate this question:

Which choice represents the expression below as a single exponential expression? 48 * 43
- A.
4^5
- B.
4^24
- C.
4^11 * 4^11
- D.

The Multiplication Law of Exponents says that for any numbers b, n, and m, bn * bm = bn + m.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The explanation for the given correct answer is that the Multiplication Law of Exponents states that when multiplying two numbers with the same base, you can add their exponents. In this case, the law is applied to the expression bn * bm, where b is the base and n and m are the exponents. By applying the law, the expression simplifies to bn+m. Therefore, the statement that bn * bm = bn + m is true.Rate this question:

Use the Multiplication Law of Exponents to simplify the exponential expression below. 52 * 56
- A.
5^12
- B.
5^8
- C.
5^6
- D.
5
Correct Answer
B. 5^8Explanation
The Multiplication Law of Exponents states that when multiplying two exponential expressions with the same base, you can add their exponents. In this case, we have 5^12 multiplied by 5^6. Since the base is the same (5), we can add the exponents together to simplify the expression. 12 + 6 equals 18, so the simplified expression is 5^18. However, the given answer is 5^8, which is incorrect. Therefore, the explanation for the given answer is that it is incorrect.Rate this question:

6^0
Correct Answer
A. 6^16Explanation
The Multiplication Law of Exponents states that when multiplying two exponential expressions with the same base, you can add the exponents. In this case, we have 6^16 * 6^0. Since any number raised to the power of 0 is equal to 1, 6^0 simplifies to 1. Therefore, the expression becomes 6^16 * 1, which is equal to 6^16.Rate this question:

(-11)^ -10
- B.
(-11)^ -21
- C.
-11
- D.
(-11)^4
Correct Answer
B. (-11)^ -21Explanation
The given expression is in the form of (-11) raised to a negative exponent. When a negative exponent is applied to a number, it means that the reciprocal of that number is taken to the positive exponent. Therefore, (-11)^-21 is equivalent to 1/(-11)^21. This is the simplified exponential expression as it represents the reciprocal of (-11) raised to the positive exponent 21.Rate this question:
