(√a)3 multiplied by (√a7)


= a3/2 * a7/2

= a(3/2 + 7/2)

= a10/2

= a5

Hope this helps :smile: !

hi could someone show me how you do the working for this, the answer is a5

(√a)3 multiplied by (√a7)

(a)3(a)7(\sqrt{a})^{3}(\sqrt{a})^{7}
=a32a72=a^{\frac{3}{2}}a^{\frac{7}{2}}
=a32+72=a^{\frac{3}{2}+\frac{7}{2}}
=a5=a^{5}
