Given the numerical expression:
m^13 x m^6
Solution:
In order to simplify the expression we apply the rules of exponent for multiplying two similar term or variable. The rules of exponent states that when two similar numbers or term with an exponent are multiplied to one another, simply add their degree/exponent. This can be represented as,
( a^n )( a^n ) = a^(n+n)
m^13 x m^6 = m^(13 + 6)
= m^19
Final answer:
m^19
