Q. Select all the expressions that are equivalent to 83×848^3 \times 8^4.\newlineMulti-select Choices:\newline(A) 187\frac{1}{8^{-7}}\newline(B) 187\frac{1}{8^7}\newline(C) 878^7\newline(D) 1812\frac{1}{8^{12}}
  1. Apply Exponent Rule: Apply the rule of exponents for multiplication.\newlineWhen multiplying powers with the same base, you add the exponents.\newline83×84=8(3+4)=878^3 \times 8^4 = 8^{(3 + 4)} = 8^7
  2. Compare with Choices: Compare the result from Step 11 with each of the given choices.\newline(A) 187\frac{1}{8^{-7}} is equivalent to 878^7 because the negative exponent means the reciprocal.\newline(B) 187\frac{1}{8^7} is not equivalent to 878^7 because it is the reciprocal of 878^7.\newline(C) 878^7 is equivalent to 878^7, which is the result we obtained in Step 11.\newline(D) 1812\frac{1}{8^{12}} is not equivalent to 878^7 because it is the reciprocal of 8128^{12}, not 878^7.
