Q. 123456789Follow the instructions below.Write a⋅a2 without exponents.a⋅a2=Fill in the blank.a⋅a2=a□
Use Exponent Property: To simplify the expression a∗a2, we need to use the property of exponents that states when multiplying like bases, we add the exponents. The base here is a, and we have a1∗a2.
Add Exponents: Adding the exponents, we get a1+2 which simplifies to a3.
Final Simplification: Therefore, a∗a2=a3. This is the simplified form of the expression without any exponents left to simplify.
