Answer:
23 ^ ( a+b)
Step-by-step explanation:
23^a *23^b
Since the bases are the same, we can add the exponents
23 ^ ( a+b)
Answer:
23^(a+b)
Step-by-step explanation:
A^x*A^y = A^(x+y)
you can think of it like this
A^x = A*A*A*.......*A x times
A^y = A*A*A*....*A y times
therefore A^x * A^y = A*A*A*...*A (x+y) times
=A^(x+y),
so in our case A = 23, and x and y were a and b, so 23^a * 23^b = 23^(a+b)
