Q. Simplify. Assume all variables are positive.\newlineu13u13u^{\frac{1}{3}} \cdot u^{\frac{1}{3}}\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. Combine Powers with Same Base: Combine the powers of uu with the same base by adding the exponents.\newlineWhen multiplying powers with the same base, we add the exponents according to the rule: am×an=am+na^m \times a^n = a^{m+n}.\newlineu13×u13=u13+13u^{\frac{1}{3}} \times u^{\frac{1}{3}} = u^{\frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{3}}
  2. Perform Exponent Addition: Perform the addition of the exponents.\newline13+13=23\frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2}{3}\newlineSo, u13×u13=u23u^{\frac{1}{3}} \times u^{\frac{1}{3}} = u^{\frac{2}{3}}
  3. Write Final Answer: Write the final answer in the form AA or AB\frac{A}{B}, where AA and BB have no variables in common and all exponents are positive.\newlineThe final answer is u23u^{\frac{2}{3}}, which is already in the correct form.
