To simplify the expression $5^8 \times 5^3$, we will use the exponent rule which states that when multiplying powers with the same base, we add the exponents:

Step-by-step:

• Identify the base and exponents: Here, the base is $5$, and the exponents are $8$ and $3$.

• Apply the multiplication of exponents rule: $5^8 \times 5^3 = 5^{8+3}$.

Therefore, the correct answer is $5^{8+3}$.

To simplify the expression given, $6^2 \times 6^8$, we will use the property of exponents which states that the product of two powers with the same base is the base raised to the sum of the exponents.

Let's apply the rule:

• The base in both powers is $6$.

• The exponents are $2$ and $8$.

• According to the rule $a^m \times a^n = a^{m+n}$, we add the exponents; therefore, $6^2 \times 6^8 = 6^{2+8}$.

• Simplifying further, this becomes $6^{10}$.

Therefore, the simplified expression is $6^{10}$.

The solution to the given problem is $6^{2+8}$.

Now, let's work through each step:
Step 1: The expression given is $7^6 \times 7^6$.
Step 2: Since the bases are the same, apply the exponent rule: $a^m \times a^n = a^{m+n}$.
Step 3: By adding the exponents, we have $6 + 6 = 12$.

Therefore, the simplified expression is $7^{6+6}$ or $7^{12}$.

This corresponds to choice 2.

Thus, the solution to the problem is $7^{6+6}$.

To simplify the equation $12 \times 12^2$, follow these steps:

Thus, the simplified form of the expression is $12^3$.

Therefore, the correct answer choice is $12^{1+2}$, which corresponds to choice 2.

To simplify the expression $2^2 \times 2^3$, we apply the rule for multiplying powers with the same base. According to this rule, when multiplying two exponential expressions that have the same base, we keep the base and add the exponents.

Step 3: Simplify the expression: $3^{4+5} = 3^9$.

Therefore, the simplified form of the expression is $3^{4+5}$.

To simplify the expression $8^3 \times 8$, we begin by identifying the implicit exponent for the standalone 8. Since there is no written exponent next to the second 8, we can assume it has an exponent of 1.

Thus, the expression can be written as:\br $8^3 \times 8^1$.

Using the rule for multiplying powers with the same base, $a^m \times a^n = a^{m+n}$, we add the exponents:

• Here, the base $a$ is 8.
• The exponents are 3 and 1.

Therefore, $8^3 \times 8^1 = 8^{3+1} = 8^4$.

Thus, the simplified expression is $\mathbf{8^4}$.

Consequently, the correct choice is $8^{3+1}$.

Now, we'll work through the calculation step-by-step:

Step 1: Rewrite $9$ as $9^1$. Thus, our expression becomes $9^1 \times 9^9$.

Step 2: Use the exponent rule to combine: $9^1 \times 9^9 = 9^{1+9}$.

Step 3: Simplify the exponent by adding: $9^{1+9} = 9^{10}$.

Therefore, the simplified form of the expression is $9^{10}$.

In terms of the answer choices, the correct answer is

Now, apply this rule:

$11^2 \times 11^3 \times 11^4 = 11^{2+3+4}$

Calculate the sum of the exponents:

$2 + 3 + 4 = 9$

Thus, the expression simplifies to:

Let's work through these steps:

Step 1: The expression we have is $4^x \times 4^2 \times 4^a$.

Step 2: Since all parts of the product have the same base $4$, we can use the rule for multiplying powers: $4^x \times 4^2 \times 4^a = 4^{x+2+a}$.
