Q. Simplify. Assume all variables are positive.\newlinev74v94v^{\frac{7}{4}} \cdot v^{\frac{9}{4}}\newline\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______\newline
  1. Given expression: We are given the expression v74v94v^{\frac{7}{4}} \cdot v^{\frac{9}{4}} and we need to simplify it. According to the laws of exponents, when we multiply two expressions with the same base, we add their exponents.
  2. Multiplying expressions with the same base: Now, we perform the addition of the exponents:\newlinev74v94=v74+94v^{\frac{7}{4}} \cdot v^{\frac{9}{4}} = v^{\frac{7}{4} + \frac{9}{4}}
  3. Performing addition of exponents: We add the fractions in the exponent: 74+94=164\frac{7}{4} + \frac{9}{4} = \frac{16}{4}
  4. Adding fractions in the exponent: We simplify the fraction 164\frac{16}{4} to its simplest form, which is 44: v164=v4v^{\frac{16}{4}} = v^4
