Q. Simplify. Assume all variables are positive.\newliner52r52r^{\frac{5}{2}} \cdot r^{\frac{5}{2}}\newlineWrite your answer in the form AA or AB\frac{A}{B}, where AA and BB are constants or variable expressions that have no variables in common. All exponents in your answer should be positive.\newline______
  1. Identify and Apply Property: Identify the equation and apply the property of exponents for multiplication.\newlineWhen multiplying two exponents with the same base, we add the exponents: am×an=am+na^m \times a^n = a^{m+n}.\newliner52×r52=r(52+52)r^{\frac{5}{2}} \times r^{\frac{5}{2}} = r^{\left(\frac{5}{2} + \frac{5}{2}\right)}.
  2. Perform Exponent Addition: Perform the addition of the exponents. (52)+(52)=102(\frac{5}{2}) + (\frac{5}{2}) = \frac{10}{2}.
  3. Simplify Fraction: Simplify the fraction 102\frac{10}{2}. 102=5\frac{10}{2} = 5.
  4. Write Final Expression: Write the final expression using the simplified exponent. r52×r52=r5r^{\frac{5}{2}} \times r^{\frac{5}{2}} = r^5.
