Question

r 2 • r • r 5

Multiply or divide as indicated.

Answer 1

Answer:

r^8

Step-by-step explanation:

r 2 • r • r 5

Assuming that r 2 means r^2

r ^2 • r • r^ 5

When the bases are the same and we are multiplying, we add the exponents

r ^2 • r^1 • r^ 5

r^(2+1+5)

r^(8)

Answer 2

Answer: $r^8$

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to remember a property called "Product of powers property". This property states the following:

$(a^m)(a^n)=a^{(m+n)}$

You can observe that the bases of the expression $r^2*r*r^5$ are equal, then you can apply the property mentioned before.

Knowing this, you can make the multiplication indicated. Therefore, you get that the product is:

$r^2*r*r^5=r^{(2+1+5)}=r^8$
