Question

Consider x2×$$y2x^2$$	imes $$y^2. Is $$the product rule applicable for this expression in order to combine these terms into a single base power? If not, provide an alternative correct simplification.

Accepted Answer

You cannot add the exponents because the bases differ, but you can write: x2×y2=$$(xy)2x^2$$	imes $$y^2$$=\left(xy\$$right)^2$$, as an alternative correct simplification

Answer

You should divide the exponents since the bases differ and then multiply the bases to form a single power

Answer

No, simplification is not possible; x2×$$y2x^2$$	imes $$y^2$$ must remain as written

Answer

Yes, you can add the exponents because both of the exponents are 2, so x2×y2=$$x4y4x^2$$	imes $$y^2$$=$$x^4$y^4$$

Consider x2×y2x^2\(\times\) y^2. Is the product rule applicable for this expression in order to combine these terms into a single base power? If not, provide an alternative correct simplification.

Consider $x^{2} \times y^{2}$ . Is the product rule applicable for this expression in order to combine these terms into a single base power? If not, provide an alternative correct simplification.
