Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When multiplying powers with the same base, you add the exponents. Thus, $x^2 \cdot x^5 = x^{2+5} = x^7$ and $y^6 \cdot y^1 = y^{6+1} = y^7$, resulting in $x^7y^7$.

Multiply and Simplify (x2y6)(x5y)\left( x ^ { 2 } y ^ { 6 } \right) \left( x ^ { 5 } y \right)(x2y6)(x5y)
