## nuccioreggie one year ago Conner and Jana are multiplying (3568)(39610). Conner's Work Jana's Work (3568)(39610) = 35 + 968 + 10 = 314618 (3568)(39610) = 35⋅968⋅10 = 345680 Is either of them correct? Explain your reasoning.

I'm gonna assume this is using exponents. Am I right?

4. nuccioreggie

Yes and here is what i got They are both incorrect. There results should be way more then in the thousands range, they should be more like in the millions.

Do you mind drawing out what the exponents look like so I can see?

6. nuccioreggie

Here it is

please next time type your question don't just copy&paste it's also against the COC or TAC :-) :-)

8. nuccioreggie

Ok but is my answer right

9. nuccioreggie

??

10. Nnesha

mhm i was waiting 4 legend reply well what's the exponent rule ? when you multiply same bases what you should do with their exponents ?

please use this rule: $\Large {a^m} \times {a^n} = {a^{m + n}}$

14. TheSmartOne

Your answer is wrong. Use the formula Michele gave and work from there.

write these dwn 'n ur notebook exponent rules $\large\rm x^m \times x^n = x^{m +n}$$\large\rm (x^m)^n = x^{m \times n}$$\large\rm \frac{ x^m }{ x^n }=x^{m-n}$
