Simplify the following expression:
First, we'll use the distributive property of multiplication and arrange the algebraic expression according to like bases:
Next, we'll use the laws of exponents to multiply terms with like bases:
Therefore, we can combine all terms with the same base under one base:
Note that we could only combine terms with identical bases using this law,
From here we can observe that the expression cannot be simplified further, and therefore this is the correct answer, which is answer B (since the distributive property of multiplication is satisfied).
Important Note:
Note that for multiplication between numerical terms, we can denote the multiplication operation using a dot (), known as dot-product, or using the "times" symbol () known as cross-product. For numerical terms, these operations are identical. We can also indicate multiplication by placing the terms next to each other without explicitly writing the operation between them. In such cases, there is a universal understanding that this represents multiplication between the terms. Usually, the multiplication is not explicitly noted (meaning the last option we mentioned here), and if it is noted, dot notation is typically used. In this problem, both in the question and answer, they chose to use cross notation, but the meaning is always the same since we are dealing with numerical terms.
Solve the following problem:
Begin by applying the distributive property of multiplication and proceed to arrange the algebraic expression according to like bases:
Next, we'll use the power rule to multiply terms with the same base:
Note that this rule applies to any number of terms in multiplication, not just two. For example, when multiplying three terms with the same base, we obtain the following:
Therefore, we can combine all terms with the same base under one base:
Note that we could only combine terms with identical bases using this rule,
From here we can see that the expression cannot be simplified further, and therefore this is the correct answer, which is answer C (since the distributive property of multiplication holds).
Using the power property to multiply terms with identical bases:
It is important to note that this law is only valid for terms with identical bases,
We notice that in the problem there are two types of terms. First, for the sake of order, we will use the substitution property to rearrange the expression so that the two terms with the same base are grouped together. The, we will proceed to solve:
Next, we apply the power property to each different type of term separately,
We apply the property separately - for the terms whose bases areand for the terms whose bases areWe add the powers in the exponent when we multiply all the terms with the same base.
The correct answer then is option b.

We will now apply the law of negative exponents, but in reverse:
We'll apply this law to the problem for the third term in the product:
When in the first stage we applied the above law of exponents for the third term in the product, and in the next stage we rearranged the resulting expression using the distributive property of multiplication so that terms with identical bases are adjacent to each other,
Next, we'll recall the law of exponents for multiplying terms with identical bases:
And we'll apply this law of exponents to the expression that we obtained in the last stage:
When in the first stage we applied the above law of exponents for terms with identical bases, and in the next stage we simplified the expression with the exponent of the first term in the product in the expression we obtained the following,
Let's summarize the solution so far as shown below:
Now let's note that there is no such answer among the given options, and an additional check of what we've done so far will reveal that there is no calculation error,
Therefore, we can conclude that additional mathematical manipulation is needed to determine which is the correct answer among the given options,
Let's note that options B and D have expressions similar to the expression we got in the last stage, while the other two options can be directly eliminated since they are clearly different from the expression we got,
Furthermore, let's note that in addition, the second term in the product in the expression we got, which is the term-, is in the numerator (note at the end of the solution on this topic), while in option B it's in the denominator, so we'll eliminate this option,
Thus - we're left with only one option - which is answer D, however we want to verify (and must verify!) that this is indeed the correct answer:
We'll do this using the law of exponents for negative exponents that we mentioned earlier, but in the forward direction:
And we'll deal separately with the first term in the product in the expression we got in the last stage of solving the problem, which is the term:
Let's note that we can represent the expression in the exponent as follows:
Where we used factoring out and took out negative one from the parentheses,
Next, we'll use the above law of exponents and the last understanding to represent the above expression (which we're currently dealing with, separately) as a term in the denominator of a fraction:
When in the first stage, in order to use the above law of exponents - we represented the term in question as having a negative exponent, while using the fact that:
,
Next, we applied the above law of exponents carefully, since the number that- x represents in our use of the above law of exponents here is:
(underlined in the expression above)
Let's return then to the expression we got in the last stage of solving the given problem, and apply for the first term in the product the mathematical manipulation we just performed:
Now let's simplify the expression that we obtained and perform the multiplication in the fraction while remembering that multiplication in a fraction means multiplying the numerators:
Let's summarize then the solution stages so far as follows:
Therefore, the correct answer is indeed answer D.
Note:
When it's written "the number in the numerator" even though there isn't actually a fraction in the expression, this is because we can always refer to any number as being in the numerator of a fraction if we remember that any number divided by 1 equals itself, meaning, we can always write a number as a fraction like this:
and therefore we can actually refer to as a number in the numerator of a fraction.
Solve:
Let's start with multiplying the two fractions in the problem using the rule for fraction multiplication, which states that we multiply numerator by numerator and denominator by denominator while keeping the fraction line:
Let's apply this rule to the problem and perform the multiplication between the fractions:
Where in the first stage we performed the multiplication between the fractions using the above rule and then simplified the expressions in the numerator and denominator of the resulting fraction using the distributive property of multiplication and the law of exponents for multiplying terms with identical bases:
Which we applied in the last stage to the denominator of the resulting fraction.
Now we'll use the same rule for fraction multiplication again, but in the opposite direction in order to express the resulting fraction as a multiplication of fractions where each fraction contains only numbers or terms with identical bases:
We did this so we could continue and simplify the expression using the law of exponents for division between terms with identical bases:
Let's apply this law to the last expression we got:
Where in the first stage, in addition to applying the above law of exponents, we also simplified the numerical fraction after identifying that both its numerator and denominator are multiples of 5, and then simplified the resulting expression,
In the next stage we'll recall that raising any number to the power of 0 gives the result 1, meaning mathematically that:
Let's return to the expression we got and continue simplifying using this fact:
We can now convert the improper fraction we got to a mixed number to get:
Let's summarize the solution to the problem, we got that:
Therefore the correct answer is answer C.
Important Note:
In solving the problem above, we detailed the steps to the solution, and used fraction multiplication in both directions multiple times and the above law of exponents,
We could have shortened the process, applied the distributive property of multiplication, and performed directly both the application of the above law of exponents and the simplification of the numerical part to get directly the last line we got:
(Meaning we could have skipped the part where we expressed the fraction as a multiplication of fractions and even the initial fraction multiplication we performed and immediately simplified between the fractions)
However, it should be emphasized that this quick solution method is conditional on the fact that between all terms in the numerator and denominator of each fraction in the problem, and also between the fractions themselves, multiplication is performed, meaning that we can put a single fraction line like we did at the beginning and can apply the distributive property of multiplication and so on, this is a point worth noting, since not every problem we encounter will meet all the conditions mentioned here in this note.
Solve the following problem:
Begin by calculating the result of the multiplication inside of the parentheses in the first term of the multiplication and proceed to write down the entire expression:
Note that the first two terms in the multiplication have the same exponent, hence we can apply the law of exponents for parentheses, however in the opposite direction:
This means that instead of opening the parentheses whilst applying the (same) exponent to each term of the multiplication inside the parentheses. We'll place the two terms (with identical exponents) as a multiplication inside of the parentheses under the exponent. This is possible in this problem given that the first two terms in the multiplication have identical exponents,
Let's apply it to the problem:
Now we can of course calculate the result of the multiplication inside the parentheses if we want, and simplify the resulting expression even further, but at this stage it's worth noting that this result is answer A, and there is no other answer among the options that is both correct and more simplified,
Therefore, the correct answer is A.
