In the following exercises, simplify:

Part (a):y12.y34

Part (b): x1223

Part (c):m58m138

Short Answer

Expert verified

Part (a): On simplifying, we get y54.

Part (b): On simplifying, we get x8.

Part (c): On simplifying, we get 1m.

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1. Given information.

Consider the given question,

y12.y34

Using the product property,

localid="1644855408772" =y12+34

Add the fractions,

=y2+34=y54

02

Part (b) Step 1. Given information.

Consider the given question,

x1223

Using the power property,

localid="1644855837630" =x12×23=x4×2=x8

03

Part (c) Step 1. Given information.

Consider the given question,

m58m138

Using the quotient property,

localid="1644855826233" =m58-138=m-88=m-1=1m
