Q. Simplify. Assume all variables are positive.\newlineu43×u73u^{\frac{4}{3}} \times u^{\frac{7}{3}}\newlineWrite your answer in the form AA or A/BA/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 Exponents: Combine the powers of uu by adding the exponents.\newlineWhen multiplying powers with the same base, we add the exponents.\newlineu43×u73=u(43+73)u^{\frac{4}{3}} \times u^{\frac{7}{3}} = u^{\left(\frac{4}{3} + \frac{7}{3}\right)}
  2. Add Exponents: Perform the addition of the exponents.\newline(43)+(73)=(4+73)=113(\frac{4}{3}) + (\frac{7}{3}) = (\frac{4 + 7}{3}) = \frac{11}{3}\newlineSo, u43u73=u113u^{\frac{4}{3}} \cdot u^{\frac{7}{3}} = u^{\frac{11}{3}}
  3. Ensure Positivity: Ensure that the exponent is positive.\newlineThe exponent 113\frac{11}{3} is already positive, so no further action is needed.
