Simplifica la expresión:
We'll use the law of exponents for multiplication between terms with identical bases:
We'll apply this law to the expression in the problem:
When we apply the above law to the first three terms from the left, while remembering that any number can always be considered as that number raised to the power of 1:
And in the last term we performed the numerical multiplication,
We'll continue and simplify the expression we got in the last step:
Where in the first stage we simplified the expressions in the exponents of the terms in the expression and in the second stage we combined like terms,
Therefore the correct answer is answer A.
Are the expressions the same or not?
\( 3+3+3+3 \)
\( 3\times4 \)
This comes from the definition of exponents! means . You're counting the total number of x factors.
Like terms have the exact same variable part! In this problem, and are like terms, and and are like terms.
Remember that ! So when you see , it's really . The invisible exponent is always 1.
After combining like terms: and . The coefficients determine the sign, not the exponent rules!
Yes! Addition and subtraction are commutative, so you can group like terms together first: to make combining easier.
