Exercise 27 Page 29

Use the Product of Powers Law. This Law states that to multiply powers with the same base, we need to add their exponents.

- 8w^(11)

Practice makes perfect

We want to simplify the algebraic expression by using the Laws of Exponents. (8w^4)(- w^7) In this case, we will use the Product of Powers Law. This Law states that to multiply powers with the same base, we need to add their exponents. We will also need to use the Commutative Property of Multiplication. Let's do it!

(8w^4)(- w^7)

Commutative Property of Multiplication

8 * (- 1)w^4w^7

a(- b)=- a * b

- 8w^4w^7

a^m*a^n=a^(m+n)

- 8w^(4 + 7)

Add terms

- 8w^(11)
