We now have an exponent property for multiplying two monomials with like bases, i.e. x-x=x+. We can
also find a property for simplifying expressions of the form (x). Try the following questions and see if you
can find the pattern that helps simplify this type of expression.
(a) Rewrite the following terms as extended products and then express them in the form 2" or ".
(1) (2²)*
(ii) (x²)*
