Q. Simplify. Assume all variables are positive.\newlines57s17s^{\frac{5}{7}} \cdot s^{\frac{1}{7}}\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 Equation 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}.\newlines57×s17=s57+17s^{\frac{5}{7}} \times s^{\frac{1}{7}} = s^{\frac{5}{7} + \frac{1}{7}}.
  2. Add Exponents: Add the exponents.\newline57+17=67\frac{5}{7} + \frac{1}{7} = \frac{6}{7}.\newlineSo, s57×s17=s67s^{\frac{5}{7}} \times s^{\frac{1}{7}} = s^{\frac{6}{7}}.
  3. Write Final Expression: Write the final simplified expression.\newlineThe expression s67s^{\frac{6}{7}} is already in the simplest form, with a positive exponent.
