Question

use exponents to condense the expression below.
$a\cdot a\cdot a\cdot a\cdot a\cdot b\cdot b\cdot b\cdot b\cdot b\cdot c$
answer attempt 1 out of 2
type the base, then use the $a^b$ button or use the ^ symbol on your keyboard for the exponent.
condensed form:

Explanation:

Step1: Count a's, write as power

There are 5 instances of $a$, so $a \cdot a \cdot a \cdot a \cdot a = a^5$

Step2: Count b's, write as power

There are 5 instances of $b$, so $b \cdot b \cdot b \cdot b \cdot b = b^5$

Step3: Count c's, write as power

There is 1 instance of $c$, so $c = c^1 = c$

Step4: Multiply all condensed terms

Combine the powers using multiplication: $a^5 \cdot b^5 \cdot c$

Answer:

$a^5b^5c$
