Question

17power2.17power3=17power-3

Answer 1

Given:

17power2.17power3 = 17power-3

To find:

17power2.17power3 = 17power-3

Solution:

From given, we have,

17power2.17power3 = 17power-3

When multiplying two exponential expressions with the same base, the product has the same base with an exponent that is the sum of the exponents of the factors.

17² × 17³ = 17-³

17^{2 + 3} = 17-³

17^5 ≠ 17-³

Therefore, the given statement is false.
